Albert Einstein
“Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.”
Albert Einstein

Robin Hobb
“Never do what you can’t undo until you’ve considered well what you can’t do once you’ve done it.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

خالد حسيني
“ربما لا يكون ذلك عدلاً ، لكن ما يحدث في بضعة أيام ، بل في يوم واحد أحيانًا ، يمكن ان يغيّر مسار حياة بأكملها”
خالد حسيني

“There are two kinds of sufferers in this world: those who suffer from a lack of life and those who suffer from an overabundance of life. I’ve always found myself in the second category. When you come to think of it, almost all human behavior and activity is not essentially any different from animal behavior. The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit, the true artist, the saint, the philosopher, is rarely achieved.

Why so few? Why is world history and evolution not stories of progress but rather this endless and futile addition of zeroes. No greater values have developed. Hell, the Greeks 3,000 years ago were just as advanced as we are. So what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential? The answer to that can be found in another question, and that’s this: Which is the most universal human characteristic – fear or laziness?”
Louis Mackey

Jodi Picoult
“When someone leaves you once, you expect it to happen again. Eventually you stop getting close enough to people to let them become important to you, because then you don't notice when they drop out of your world.”
Jodi Picoult, Leaving Time
