Real mothers don't just listen with humble embarrassment to the elderly lady who offers unsolicited advice in the checkout line when a child is throwing a tantrum. We take the child, dump him in the lady's cart, and say, "Great. Maybe you can do a better job." Real mothers know that it's okay to eat cold pizza for breakfast. Real mothers admit it is easier to fail at this job than to succeed. ↗

الحياة لا يعجبها تذمر الأحياء .. إنها ترشوهم بأشكال مختلفة ومتفاوتة من الرضى ومن القبول بالظروف الإستثنائية .. يحدث هذا للمنفي, والغريب والسجين, ويحدث مثله مثله للخاسر والمهزوم والمهجور. وكما تتعود العين شيئاً فشيئاً على العتمة المفاجئة يتعود هؤلاء على السياق الإستثنائي الذي فرضته عليهم الظروف .. وإذا تعود الواحد منهم على الإستثناء فإنه يراه طبيعياً بشكل من الأشكال. ↗

The Ed Hardy man is confident with a strong sense of personal style. He is not afraid to be seen and take risks. He enjoys comfort and flexible style, yet he wants to stand apart from the crowd. ↗

Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you; plug up my ears, and I can still hear; even without feet I can walk toward you, and without mouth I can still implore. Break off my arms, and I will hold you with my heart as if it were a hand; strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb; and should you set fire to my brain, I still can carry you with my blood. ↗

I am so afraid of people's words.They describe so distinctly everything: And this they call dog and that they call house, here the start and there the end. I worry about their mockery with words, they know everything, what will be, what was; no mountain is still miraculous; and their house and yard lead right up to God. I want to warn and object: Let the things be! I enjoy listening to the sound they are making. But you always touch: and they hush and stand still. That's how you kill. ↗

I don't think any of us can speak frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it. ↗

I wouldn't burden any decent system of faith by participating in it... I'm not agnostic. Just nonpartisan. Theological Switzerland, that's me. ↗

I was as big as I have ever been. I had a personal trainer and was working out. I was feeling good. I was muscular. I had never weighed more than 155 pounds. ↗

In crises, the old is dying and the new has not been born. Hence, the revolts we are witnessing in Egypt and Tunisia, which may yet extend to other countries in the region, are full of uncertainties. ↗
