― Khadija Rupa, Unexpressed Feelings

“مثل تلك الأمور التي يُفضّل ألّا تفكّر بها و إلّا جُننت. حين تسقط لوحة ما، حين تستيقظ ذات صباح وتكتشف بأنك لم تعد تحب شريكتك، حين تفتح جريدة وتقرأ اندلاع الحرب، حين ترى قطارًا وتفكّر في الرحيل، حين تنظر إلى نفسك في المرآة وتدرك أنك تشيخ”
― Alessandro Baricco, Novecento. Un monologo

“I could so easily never have learned things that would stay with me now until I died: that I was complete as I was, with all my flaws and all my strengths. That I took up space in the world, and that I was entitled to that space.”

“I used to think that love was the greatest reason to be human, I truly believed that. But now, it has dawned on me, that love may in fact be just like any other aspect of life: something that could go extremely well but also could go terribly wrong. We think that love acts as a guarantee for good things; but it doesn't. It's equal parts the possibility of Hell as much as it is the possibility of Heaven. And this realisation kind of makes you a little sad, in a way. That at the end of the day, you must always be your own home and your own Heaven.”
― C. JoyBell C.

― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

― Sharon Pearson, Ultimate You: When you know you can't ignore the whisper inside that says... It's your time...

“I'd given up on the NGK dominee's God a while back. But when I listened to people talking about their HP (Higher Power), I realised God may not be a big, bossy guy with a white beard. She might be a quiet inner voice.”
― Sally Andrew, The Milk Tart Murders

“He took me between his knees and shuffled some photographs before my eyes with his dextorous hands, showing me images of naked women and boys in strange positions. I leant against him and peered at those delicate human bodies with distant, unseeing eyes, as the fluid of a vague agitation that had suddenely clouded the air reached me, running through me in a shiver of anxiety, a wave of sudden understanding. In the meantime, the haze of a smile that had appeared under his soft, beautiful moustache, the germ of desire that had stretched across his temple in a pulsing vein, the tension holding his features together for a momenr, fell back into nothingness, and his face departed into absence, forgot itself, and disintegrated.”
― Bruno Schulz
