Quote by Matt Haig

“It is so easy, while trapped in just the one life, to imagine that times of sadness or tragedy or failure or fear are a result of that particular existence. That it is a by-product of living a certain way, rather than simply living.”

“عقلي هو أشد أعدائي خطورة.. بل ربما هو عدوي الوحيد المختل وكأنه من جسد أخر يتلذذ بجلدي كل ليلة وكأنه ليس مسؤولًا هو أيضًا عن كل هذا الخراب وحتى حينما تهرب روحي منه للنوم منهكةً يهيئ لي كل مخاوفي في كوابيسٍ لا تتوقف، حتى أصبحت بلا مأوى أهرب إليه فأظل أركض تائهة في طرقاته الأشبه بالمتاهة.. أركض بلا توقف ولكن دون جدوى التفاصيل تحاصرني من كل إتجاه.”

“And I audition and I see people in the waiting room. And I can’t help but think: there’s a very slim chance people like acting,' said Eden. 'It has too many other things. Attention. Escape. People. Spotlight. But the actual thing of acting, the kernel, has to belong to fewer people than there are actors in this city. They were kids lacking something at a young age and the splendid world of the theatre offered them that, but as soon as they found love, drama, stability, or attention from another source, they abandoned the Theatre. Imagine how sad that feels—to be abandoned. To be told you are loved, again and again, and then be told it was never the case.”
