It was May, a time of lilacs and shooting stars.
She’s lived in my memory for sixty years.
Death steals everything except our stories.

يبدو أن الذى يحب بصدق كالذي يكتب يزداد هشاشة كلما ازداد تعمقاً فى الأشياء و كلما وقع سجيناً للذاكرة

كلنا جرحى. ليس شرطاً أن تجِد دماءك تسيل على جلدك، ثمة دماء غير مرئية.

أستطيع أن أقول أن إحساسي بالحياة يصاحبه دائمًا رفضي للعالم كما أُعطي لي، وعجزي عن الاندماج فيه. إنه ابتعاد عميق الجذور عن كل ماهو مألوف وعادي، ضجرًا يُشبه أن يكون مرَضيًا، ضجرًا من كل ما هو مبتذل.
نيقولاي بيرديائيف (via isolatedsaeed)

أريدُ الحياة ربيعًا وفجرًا , وحلمًا أعانق فيه السماء .. أريد الحياةَ كطيرٍ طليق , يرى الشمسَ بيتاً , يرى العمرَ ماء !

Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more ‘literary’ you are. That’s my definition anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies. So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life.
Ray Bradbury (via pavorst)

You’re never too old to go after your dreams, but you’re always too old to wet your bed while you dream.
