Quote by Julianne MacLean

“To feel apprehensive about certain things is normal, but in doing them, in conquering our fears- that is where the true rewards are. That is when we accomplish great things." He gazed down at her lovely profile and wondered how it was possible that a woman could make him feel so content and inspired, yet so enormously randy at the same time. "I agree," he said, struggling to focus on the subject at hand. "Life has to be faced head-on with courage and fortitude.”

“She wasn’t broken. She was made up of a thousand tiny little cracks. She was always trying to keep herself glued together. But it was hard, she felt too much. No matter what she did, her emotions seeped through, sometimes in drips, other times in floods, She felt everything, the heaviness of the clouds right before rain, the rush of the subway cars as they left the station, the feeling of goodbye as she watched someone walk away, wondering if it was the last time she would see them, the feeling of a kiss lingering on her cheek for hours. She felt the loneliness of the sun as it hung in the sky, shedding light on the day, without companion. And she longed to give as much as the sun. If she could brighten someone’s day, bestow warmth were there was cold, make someone smile, give someone hope, then for a minute, an hour, maybe even a day, the cracks would fill with love and the pain would become only a voice, reminding her that her pain was important. She knew how fragile life was, how hard, and how precious. She wanted to feel it all.”

“فعلى خلفية شاشة الغروب تلك كنت أرى أبي يمضي على كرسيه ذي العجلات، وأرى مضي إخوتي، واحدا واحدا، وأمي بمناديلها الحريرية التى تخفق مع الريح أراهم يمضون مغادرين مثلما غادر سكان المعسكر المنجمي كلهم! أراههم يتلاشون فى ألافق مثل سراب، بينما تكون الموسيقي التصويرية آخذة فى الانطفاء شيئا فشيئا! وعلى ظلالهم تظهر، بحزم وحتمية، الكلمة التي لايرغب أحد في الحياة فى قراتها..... النهاية”

“لماذا نمنع الناس من أن يموتوا إذا كان الموت هو النهاية الطبيعية للإنسان؟ وما الفائدة من مد حياة تاجر أو موظف خمس أو عشر سنوات؟ وإذا اعتبرنا أن هدف الدواء هو تخفيفي الألم يقفز إلى الذهن السؤال التالى: ولم نخففها؟ أولا: يقال إن الآلام تساعد الإنسان على بلوغ الكمال، وثانيا: إذا تعلمت الإنسانية فعلا أن تخفف آلامها بالحبوب والنقط فإنها ستهمل الدين والفلسفة تماما، لأنها للآن تجد فيهما بلسما لكل المصائب.”
