“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it�� Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
― Søren Kierkegaard

“When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
― William Saroyan

“أسير على غير هدى وبلا هدف ولكن صادفتنى مفاجأة لم تخطر لى فى خاطرى فصرت كلما وضعت قدمى فى شارع انقلب الشارع سيركا.
اختفت جدرانه وأبنيته وسياراته والمارة وحل محل ذلك قبة هائلة بمقاعدها المتدرجة وحبالها الممدودة والمدلاة واراجيحها وأقفاص حيوانتها والممثلون والمبتكرون والرياضيون حتى البلياتشو، وشد ما دهشت وسررت وكدت أطير من الفرح، ولكن بالانتقال من شارع إلى شارع وبتكرار المعجزة مضى السرور يفتر والضجر يزحف حتى ضقت بالمشى والرؤية وتاقت نفسى للرجوع إلى مسكنى، ولكم فرحت حين لاح لى وجه الدنيا وامنت بمجىء الفرح. وفتحت الباب فإذا بالبلياتشو يستقبلنى مقهقها.”
― نجيب محفوظ, أحلام فترة النقاهة

“My objective is to create my own world and these images which we create mean nothing more than the images which they are. We have forgotten how to relate emotionally to art: we treat it like editors, searching in it for that which the artist has supposedly hidden. It is actually much simpler than that, otherwise art would have no meaning. You have to be a child—incidentally children understand my pictures very well, and I haven’t met a serious critic who could stand knee-high to those children. We think that art demands special knowledge; we demand some higher meaning from an author, but the work must act directly on our hearts or it has no meaning at all.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky
