“I have spent a great deal of my life struggling to keep myself in control. To know myself inside and out, everything In perfect order. I lose that when I'm with you. That frightens me, and it frightens me how much I like it. How tempting it is to lose myself in you. To let it go. To let you save me from breaking chandeliers rather than constantly worrying about it, myself.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“مُرَّ بِي يا وَاعِداً وعداً
مثلما النسمَةُ من بَرَدَى

تحمِلُ العُمرَ تبَدِّدُهُ
آهِ ما أطيبَهُ، بَدَدَا

رُبَّ أرضٍ مِن شذاً و ندىً
وجِرَاحَاتٍ بقلبى عِدى

سَكتَت يَومَاً فهل سكتت؟
أجملُ التاريخِِ كانَ غدَا

واعِدِي لا كُنتَ من غَضـبٍ
أعرفُ الحبَّ سًَـنىً وهُدَى

الهَوى لحظُ شآميةٍ رَقَّ
حتَّى قلتَهُ.. نفدَا

هكذا السيفُ ألا انغمَدَت
ضَربَةٌ..والسَّيفُ ما انغَمَدا

واعِدِي الشَّمسُ لنا كُرَةٌ
إن يدٌ تتعَب فنادِ يَدا

أنا حُبِّي دَمعةٌ هَجَرَت
إن تعُد لِي..أشعلَت بَرَدَى”
― سعيد عقل
