Quote by Matt Haig

“The rook is my favorite piece.’ she said. ‘It’s the one you think you don’t have to watch out for. It is straightforward. You keep your eyes on the queen, and the knight and the bishop, because they are the sneaky ones. But is the rook that often gets you. The straightforward is never quite what it seems.”

“لقد استحوذت علي آن ذاك فكرة مهيمنة: فلأول مرة في حياتي أرى الحقيقة كما يتغنى بها الكثير من الشعراء، وكما ينادي بها الكثير من المفكرين على أنها الحكمة العظمى: الحقيقة هي أن الحب هو الهدف الغائي والأسمى الذي يمكن أن يطمح إليه الإنسان. ثم أدركت معنى السر الأعظم الذي ينبغي أن يفصح عنه الشعر الإنساني والفكر لإنساني والإيمان الصادق: أن خلاص الإنسان هو من خلال الحب وفي الحب.”

“Before we met, I was drowned in a deep blue sky, I thought I would never look forward again, I believed I would always stay stuck, Since that first snow, nothing remained the same, I came to know there was more to life, I realized I was ever ready to move on, All I needed was somebody like you, All I wanted was to trust in your vibe, In those shimmery eyes, I saw cheesy sunrise, In those silent moments, I heard the roar of rivers, In those joyous chattering, I sensed peaceful sunsets, In those pineapple thoughts, I lived life to the fullest, In that crazy ocean of love, I left footprints on the water, Trust me, in that lovely smile, I saw a sky I won't forget.”
