Literature Writing Quotes

“والمـال إن لم تدخره محصنا بالعلــم كـان نهايـة الإمـــــلاق
والعلــم إن لم تكتنفه شمائــل تعليه كان مطيـــة الإخـفــــاق
لا تحسبن العلــم ينفع وحـــده مـا لم يتـوج ربــــه بخــــــلاق
من لي بتربية النساء فإنهــــا في الشرق علة ذلك الإخفــــاق
الأم مــدرسـة إذا أعــددتـهـــا أعـددت شعبا طيب الأعــراق
الأم روض إن تعهــده الحيـــا بالـــريّ أورق أيمـــا إيــــراق
الأم أستــاذ الأساتــذة الألــــى شغلت مآثرهم مدى الآفـــــاق”
― حافظ إبراهيم

But perhaps it can make the pause between death's footsteps sound and look and feel beautiful, can make the space of waiting a place where you can linger without as much fear.

“كانت تكره عقلها دائم العمل الذي أرهقها وحول حياتها لألاف التوقعات ومئات الأسئله وعشرات الشكوك فأصبحت الحياة عسيرة متعبة.

و حين تسوء الظروف بشدة يزيد جحيمها الداخلي فتهرب منه بالنوم لتوقفه قليلا وكلها أمل أن يستمر النوم لأطول قدر ممكن إن لم يكن نهائي.

فيهاجم عقلها خيالها وجزئه الباطن ليفسد أحلامها ويوقظها بعنف مضطربة ومتعبه وحزينة.

حتي أنها كانت تتمني أحياناً أن يتخاذل ويتعب من قسوة وثقل حمله فينفصل قليلا في أي وقت ولو نتج عنه سقوط جسدها فاقد الوعي علي قارعة الطريق.”
