“الصديقان النموذجيان كما زوج من القنافذ,يتعاطفان,و يتعاونان و يتلازمان,و لكن لا يذوبان فى يعضهما لأن كل واحد له درقة من الأشواك تحميه من أن يقتحم عليه الاّخر خصوصيته و سريته و ينتهك وحدانية نفسه و قدسية استقلاله.”

“It’s sometimes easier to help others rather than helping yourself. The trick is to listen to your “self” as a friend. This may be the simplest change you ever make in life, with the biggest impact.”

“Avoid those who seek friends in order to maintain a certain social status or to open doors they would not otherwise be able to approach.”

“I would rather have 1 amazing best friend than 100 decent regular friends. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.”

“Sometimesyou meet people and know immediatelythat they were meant to be your friend.”

“Some bad friends are so crafty in such a way that by the time their mission is reveal, they have already executed portions of it.”

“I suggest to you, late or not late, the moment you have discovered that the mission of someone is to pee on your dreams, keep him away or keep away from him.”

“When you understand that through the power of conversion in solitude you can become great, so many things you’ve been wasting your time on will no longer interest you. You will even run away from some friends.”

“The path back home is often the most difficult journey of all.”

“But for a moment, standing there with Tariq in the sunlight, it was as though those years had never happened. Her parents deaths, her marriage to Rasheed, the killings, the rockets, the Taliban, the beatings, the hunger, even her children, all of it seemed like a dream, a bizarre detour, a mere interlude between that last afternoon together and this moment.”

“If a relationship lasts longer than 7 years, you are no longer girlfriend-boyfriend. You are family.”

“Per me non è stato affatto un giorno sprecato. è stato meraviglioso, al punto che ho desiderato che il tempo si fermasse.”

“Friends won’t support you until they see strangers celebrate you.”

“Have 10 friends who believe in your dreams than 100 friends who never do. It’s not about numbers; it’s about purpose.”
