“لم تكوني أنتِ امرأةً عادية حتى يكون حبي لكِ عادياً، كنتِ طوفاناً يجرفُ أمامه كل أشجارِ القلق، و جلاميدَ الترقُّب و التروي، كنتِ قادمةً كموجة الفجر الذي يُسقط رهبانية الليل الطويلة، كنتِ نازلةً على جبين الكوكب المهجور، و بين يديكِ ماء، وحياة، ومخلوقات، ودورة شمسة جديدة.
كنتِ حبيبتي، ذلك الإتيانُ الأنثويُّ العاصف الذي لا يمنحُ الأشياءَ تفسيراتها، بينما يكوّن اتجاهاتٍ جديدة على خريطة الحياة، يخلقُ أمماً وحضارات، يغيّرُ تواريخ الميلاد، و عادات الليل، والأحلام المعلّقة على جدار النهار، وقوانين الصمت والكلام، و النظام الأزلي لنبضات القلب.
نوعكِ هذا من النساء لا يرفقُ بي، أنا عاشقُ المرة الأولى، إنه يسحقني حتى آخر خلية تزورها الدماء، ثم يجمع فُتاتي، ويلملم ذرَّاتي، ويعجنني من جديد، رجلاً آخر كما يريدني الحب.”
― محمد حسن علوان, سقف الكفاية

“All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.”
― Robert Heinlein

“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone”
― Pablo Picasso

“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

“I never needed a Man. I needed a Viking. I needed someone who wasn't afraid of my strengths, or of my needs. I chose wrong... in the past. I thought I had to find someone who could put up with my hunger for life. But I was so damn wrong. I needed a Viking. I needed someone who would admire all the things about me that tepid men were intimidated by.”
― Alfa H, Abandoned Breaths

“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
― Cesar A. Cruz

“Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
― Raymond Carver, A New Path to the Waterfall

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

“فإن كل لذة الحب، وإن أروع ما في سحره، أنه لا يدعنا نحيا فيما حولنا من العالم، بل في شخص جميل ليس فيه إلا معاني أنفسنا الجميلة وحدها، ومن ثم يصلنا العشق من جمال الحبيب بجمال الكون، وينشئ لنا في هذا العمر الإنساني المحدود ساعات إلهية خالدة، تشعر المحب أن في نفسه القوة المالئة هذا الكون على سعته”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“كنت أرى أن الحب هو الطريقة التي يعثر بها الإنسان على روحه وهو مغشى بماديته، فيكون كأنه في الخلد وهو بعد في الدنيا وأكدارها، فأصبحت أرى الحب كأنه طريقة يفقد بها الإنسان روحه قبل الموت، فيعود كأنه ضارب غمرة من الجحيم وهو قار في نسيم الدنيا!”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد
