“Kalen (admin): What were you doing when the string appeared? Theodore: Platonic bonding. Mikel (admin): Isobel? The messages stopped there, and she swallowed, typing out a hesitant reply. Isobel: I’m not sure how much detail I’m supposed to go into. Kalen (admin): Jesus Christ. Did any of you follow the goddamned rules? Isobel: What rules? Oscar: Not a chance. Moses: No. Kilian: Yes.”

“For the last year and a half this room had been my 'pensive citadel:' here I had read and studied through all the hours of the night: and, though true it was, that for the latter part of this time I, who was framed for love and gentle affections, had lost my gaiety and happiness, during the strife and fever of contention with my guardian; yet, on the other hand, as a boy, so passionately fond of books, and dedicated to intellectual pursuits, I could not fail to have enjoyed many happy hours in the midst of general dejection. I wept as I looked round on the chair, hearth, writing-table, and other familiar objects, knowing too certainly, that I looked upon them for the last time.”

“او پانزده ساله بود. این یعنی به یک زیرگروه خاص انسانی به اسم«نوجوان»تعلق داشت، مهم ترین مشخصه های این گروه مقاومت اندک در مقابل جاذبه، مجموعه لغاتی از غرولند ها، فقدان آگاهی مکانی، مقدار زیادی فکر به جنس مخالف، و اشتهای پایان ناپذیر برای غلات صبحانه بود.”

“هاكونا ماتاتا - Hakuna Matata”، كلمة سيمبا اتعلمها من تيمون و بومبا أول يوم قابلهم في الغابة بعد ما هرب من أهله. معناها بالأنجليزي “No Worries”، أما في مصر عندنا ليها مرادفات كتير زي “نَفّض”، “كبّر”، “طَنّش”، “إحلَق”، “أفْكِس”.. حسب الجيل والمستوى الإجتماعي اللي بننشأ فيه.. وفي الأغنية الشهيرة اللي في نص الكارتوون شرح تيمون لسيمبا lifestyle هاكونا ماتاتا كالتالي: It means no worries for the rest of your days, it's our problem-free philosophy. بمعنى أنه ابتكر فلسفة حياة مبنية على اللامبالاة وعدم الاكتراث بأي حاجة حصلت في الماضي او بتحصل دلوقتي او هتحصل في المستقبل وبالتالي عايش هو وبومبا بدون مشاكل.. أُعجب سيمبا جداً بالفسلفة دي لأسباب كتير، أولها الأسلوب المُسلّي اللي تيمون وبومبا قدموها بيه، وأهمها أنه لقى فيها حل فوري لحالة الإكتئاب اللي عنده من ساعة ما تسبب في موت باباه، وبدل ما يواجه الواقع تبنى فلسفة التنفيض؛ “هاكونا ماتاتا”، وأول حاجة قرر “ينفضلها” هي أهله، بما فيهم مامته.. ومن خلال إخراج الأغنية اللي مليان رموز ومعاني بنشوف إزاي تيمون وبومبا بيغيروا فكر سيمبا بشكل مؤسف جداً في حين أن ظاهر المشهد مُبهج ومُفرح في تناقد شديد ميفهموش غير المشاهد المتأمل خلاصته أن الentertainment - بمعنى اللهو - هو مفتاح لتحويل نظرة أي شخص تجاه حاجة مذمومة إلى محمودة. فنلاقي مثلاً أن تيمون طلّع مَبرد وبَرد لسيمبا مخالبه كرمزية لإنتكاس الفطرة وتبدُّل السنّة. كمان بعد ما Mufasa بابا سيمبا ما كان بيربيه على معاني الصبر والتركيز والتأني في درس الصيد في أول الفيلم دلوقتي تيمون بيعلمه يستسهل وياكل دود وخنافس وصراصير وحاجات مقرفة جداً كرمزية للإستغناء عن العلم والعمل. الملفت للنظر أن “تيمون” اللي كان طول الوقت متزعِم سيمبا وبومبا هو في الحقيقة أصغر وأضعف واحد فيهم، لكنه قدر يتزعمهم بسهولة لأنهم نسيوا هويتهم. وبعد flash forward سنين لقدام بنشوف سيمبا كبر وبقى شاب لكن للأسف بشخصية ضعيفة وهايفة واضحة في مظهره وتصرفاته وتطلعاته، فبعد ما كان بيعتز جداً بكلام باباه وشايفه قدوة ليه بقى بيتكسف وبيسخر منه بينه وبين صحابه، وبعد ما كان حلمه أنه يُحكم الغابة بالعدل ويحرر “مقبرة الفيلة” من إحتلال الضباع بقى هدفه الوحيد في الحياة أنه “يقضّيها” مع صحابه الفاشلين الهايفين، وبعد ما كان أكتر شخص مميز في الغابة وفي نظر كل الغابة ليه مستقبل مشرق، بقى ملوش لازمة ولا أهمية.. وفضل عايش سنين على الحال دا، لحد ما في يوم قابل Nala. “نالا” في الكارتوون هيا رمز حطه المؤلف العبقري لحاجة جميلة بتفكر سيمبا بأصله وفطرته وأحلامه، ممكن بالنسبالنا تكون شخصية او مكان او كتاب او ثورة او اي حاجة بنحس فيها بمعاني التغيير، المهم أنها بتواجهه بحقيقته اللي كان ناسيها.. أنه أسد والمفروض يكون ملك الغابة، وأن كل الغابة بتناديه، وحلمه بيدور عليه، ارجع تاني الدنيا محتجالك، ارجع تاني ونور الحياة - فبيتصدم سيمبا في نفسه والحال اللي وصله ويقرر أنه يتغيّر، ويبدأ يدور على الصراط المستقيم. “But the sun rolling high - through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the Circle of Life, and it moves us all Through despair and hope, through faith and love Till we find our place on the path unwinding In the Circle of Life” — The Lion King”

“When the youth or children describe freedom as being able to drink alcohol freely without supervision, being judged, rebuked, stopped or punished. To be bold, beautiful, proud, confident and being able to express yourself it means you must be naked. Then we had failed as a society or nation to set good example for the youth. Their future doesn’t look bright either. There will be burden instead of a solution to the society.”

“That was our mistake, I think. One of many mistakes. To believe that boys were acting with a logic that we could someday understand. To believe that their actions had any meaning beyond thoughtless impulse. We were like conspiracy theorists, seeing portent and intention in every detail, wishing desperately that we mattered enough to be the object of planning and speculation. But they were just boys. Silly and young and straightforward; they weren't hiding anything.”

“Chasing a man is not winning. The only thing you win is the loss of your dignity. Confidence is knowing your value, instead of expecting a man’s love to provide you with value.”

“It is better to stay single and wait for the one that makes sense then to marry someone that makes absolutely no sense. The moment you settle is when the one person that makes all the sense in the world shows up and Satan sits back and enjoys your spiritual meltdown.”

“When you blame others, what you are really saying is what is inside of you can’t be fixed, so you have no control of your own happiness. Therefore, you have made the conscience choice to give focus and fuel to a bad situation that will take you nowhere and give you nothing, but ignorance and pain.”

“So that's how we end up helping Aviva pick out a male escort. Even Darcy is impressed with Eugene's organization; each profile in the boy binder has two pictures, a head shot and a full-body shot, and lists essential information: age, school, height, weight, extracurriculars, hobbies, and dance ability (which ranges from "occasional Dance Dance Revolution participation" to "so good he could back up the Biebs").”

“Yet something even more profound has happened in this ongoing story of later school start times - something that researchers did not anticipate: the life expectancy of students increased. The leading cause of death among teenagers is road traffic accidents, and in this regard, even the slightest dose of insufficient sleep can have marked consequences, as we have discussed. When the Mahotomedi School District of Minnesota pushed their school start time from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m., there was a 60 percent reduction in traffic accidents in drivers sixteen to eighteen years of age.”

“Now, Mr. Antonio. I understand that there are people who are close to you who want me dead.” “No, mija. They don’t want you dead.” “Then explain this.” I handed him the picture. He chuckled again. “No, they don’t want you dead. That would be too easy. They want revenge.” Cold sweat broke out all over me, but I kept my face calm. I looked at him straight in the eye. “Well, then they are going to be quite disappointed, aren’t they?” I flashed my teeth at him. “Senorita, you might want to warn Senor Smith, you see, my nephew he doesn’t like to share, and if he sees another man after you, he’ll get very, eh, aggressive.” The silver fox looked at me and winked. “Oh, he won’t have to worry.” I said as I was walking out the door. “I doubt he will be alive long enough to know Agent Smith.” Then I slammed the door.”

“The only teenagers in town seemed to kill themselves in gruesomely rural ways—I heard about their pickups crashing at two in the morning, the sleepover in the garage camper ending in carbon monoxide poisoning, a dead quarterback. I didn’t know if this was a problem born of country living, the excess of time and boredom and recreational vehicles, or whether it was a California thing, a grain in the light urging risk and stupid cinematic stunts”

“Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.”
