Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

“I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of golden sand— How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep While I weep— while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?”

“We get to grab the pen and write the next line. We aren’t starting a whole new book; we are just writing a new chapter. The last chapter of our life ended with the loss—the divorce, the death of a dream, the career collapse, whatever it may be. Even though it ended, this is where the story gets good. We get to decide what happens next. If we are still alive, we get to dream! You haven’t lost it all. You are still here! This isn’t the end of your story; it’s the start of a new chapter, and you, my friend, are holding the pen. What do you want your story to be?”

“لطالما حمّلت نفسي مسؤولية هذا أمام الرب، وإيماني بعلمه بما كانت تكن نفسي ذلك اليوم يطمئنني أمامه، أكثر من الوقوف أمام نفسي ووساوسها، لكن.. لكن التفاصيل التي ذكرها (كازارشان) أوقدت بي سعيرًا من عذاب الضمير، لقد رحلت الآلاف من الأمنيات والأحلام حتى بيوم سعيد لم يكتمل.”
