“A little more compassion and a little less anger is what most of us need.”

“My mother was, in the tradition of parents, quite a complicated and contradictory human being. Moralistic but a devout lover of pleasure (food, music, the aesthetics of nature). Deeply religious but seemingly as comforted by singing a secular chanson as by prayer. A lover of the natural world who was visibly anxious every time she left the castle. Fragile, but also though and stubborn. I never knew how many of her oddities had sprung from grief and how many from her own inherent nature. “There is not one blade of grass, there is no colour in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice,” my mother told me once, shortly after arriving in England.”

“It is better to keep your opinions of other people to yourself and not share those feelings with others. There is no reason for you to express your opinion concerning those in power. Mind your own business and keep your opinions to yourself.”

“Children can teach us more about love, happiness, compassion, and creating a beautiful world!”

“You cannot capture happiness and put it inside a bottle. It is an emotion that lasts for a temporary period of time. And after you have felt it, it goes away subtly and sublimely. You will never realize the exact moment when it passed through your being and bid you goodbye! But you can wait for the next one!”

“اهذا من كان يسمح لنا باللعب او لا؟ اهذا من كان يقرر ، من يعود لبيته سعيداً او تعسياً؟ كيف سمحت لهذا المتخاذل الفاشل ان يسيطر على مشاعري،على حياتي!”

“Life has no meaning without a goal or passion!”

“Sane people never realize the joys of insanity!”

“Never feel bad for not getting something in life. It just means that you are meant to achieve bigger and better things in life!”

“You create magic in those moments of passion towards your work!”

“We need wisdom more than weapons. The more wisdom we have, the lesser the weapons we need.”

“I have left you a path, I hope you find it.”

“To stand out from the crowd requires you to stand up and stand for what you believe.”

“When life gives you lemons, don’t waste your time making lemonade.”
