    فاروق جويدة
    “حزني عنيد وجرحي أنت يا وطني

    لا شيء بعدك مهما كان.. يغنينا

    إني أرى القدس في عينيك ساجدة

    تبكي عليك وأنت الآن تبكينا

    آه من العمر جرح عاش في دمنا

    جئنا نداويه يأبى أن يداوينا

    ما زال في العين طيف القدس يجمعنا

    لا الحلم مات ولا الأحزان تنسينا

    لا القدس عادت ولا أحلامنا هدأت

    وقد نموت وتحيينا أمانينا

    ما أثقل العمر.. لا حلم ولا وطن..

    ولا أمان ولا سيف... ليحمينا”

    “- لست أهوى القراءة لأكتب ، ولا أهوى القراءة لأزداد عمراً في تقدير الحساب .. و إنما أهوى القراءة لأن عندي حياة واحدة ، وحياة واحدة لا تكفيني ، والقراءة - دون غيرها - هي التي تعطيني أكثر من حياة ، لأنها تزيد هذه الحياة من ناحية العمق”

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
