“اعتادت أمي، يرحمها الله، القول دائما: "تذكر يا ولدي، إن اضطرت للتحدث فلا تلجأ للكذب فمع كل كذبة تحيكها يكبر الغطاء الذي تحتمي به ويزداد سمكه إلى أن ينتهي بك الأمر إلى الاختناق تحته".”

“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential — as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth.
You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.
To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble.”
―

“ألستَ وعدتني يا قلبُ أني .. إذا ما تُبتُ عن ليلى تتوبُ ؟
فها أنا تائبٌ عن حبِّ ليلى .. فما لكَ كلَّما ذُكرت تذوبُ ؟
وما لكَ قد حننتَ لوصلِ ليلى .. وكنتَ حلفتَ أنك لا تؤوبُ ؟
بلى قد عُدتَ يا قلبي إليها .. فهذا الدمعُ منسكبٌ صَبيبُ
يخَبِّرُ أنَّما الأشواقُ نارٌ .. وتحت النارِ أضلاعٌ تذوبُ
إلى كم تنحني شوقاً إليها .. وأحناءُ الفؤادِ بها نُدوبُ؟
جروحٌ سائلاتٌ أنهَرَتْها .. يدُ السيَّافِ ، أنت لها طبيبُ
تضمِّدها وتبكي من جَواها .. أما ، يا قلبُ ، يتعبُك النحيبُ؟
تموت على الجراحِ ولا تبالي .. وتلثمُ سيفها وهو القضيبُ
ترى السيفَ المجرَّدَ وجهَ ليلى .. وتلثمُ سيفها وهو القضيبُ
تشَمَّمْ وردَها يا قلبُ ، هذا .. وتحسبُ خدَّها ورداً يذوبُ
وتنزِفه جروحٌ راعفاتٌ .. دمي المُهراق ، يُدميه اللهيبُ
أفقْ يا قلبُ إنَّ غرامَ ليلى .. وتحسبُ أنه مسكٌ وطِيبُ
فسوف تُفيقُ يوماً لا تراها .. سيتعبنا وما تفنى الدروبُ
وإن طال النهارُ فإن شمسي .. وللعشّاقِ في الدنيا نصيبُ
أفقْ يا قلبُ إن الحبَّ نارٌ .. سيقتلها على الأفقِ الغروبُ
أفقْ ، لم يبقَ في البستانِ زهرٌ .. ولا ثمرٌ، ولا غصنٌ رَطيبُ
وهذا الرَّوضُ قد أمسى حُطاماً .. تُرى ، هل يُرتَجى المرعى الجَديبُ؟
وهذا العمرُ ولَّى ، ليس فيهِ .. سوى ضعفٍ ، سيتبعه المشيبُ
وتُحسَبُ جاهلاً من غيرِ جهلٍ .. وقد يُستَجهَلُ الرجلُ اللبيبُ
تَجَهَّز للرحيلِ أيا فؤادي .. فإن مُصاحِبَ الدنيا غريبُ
وقلْ: سأموتُ يا ليلى ، اذكريني .. عسى أن تنمحي عني الذنوبُ”
