Before and during the first phase of the war his administration repeatedly maligned the UN but now, that Iraq has turned into a quagmire, it is asking the UN for help. ↗

Someone asked them a question about their poetry, and whether it was hard having to relive their words each time they performed. Their reply was that although they had moved beyond that--from the person or event that inspired their words at that point in time--it doesn't mean someone listening to them wasn't in that. So? So what if heartache you wrote last year isn't what you're feeling today. It may be exactly what the person in the front row is feeling. What you're feeling now, and the person you may reach with your words five years from now--that's why you write poetry. ↗

One of the most important of life´s lessons is to learn independance, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourrishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency. ↗

إن الطريقَ شاقة، إن الطريقَ ليست مفروشةً بالزهور والورود، إن الطريق مليئةً بالأشواك.. لا.. بل إنها مفروشة بالأشلاء والجماجم، مزينةً بالدماء، غير مزينةٍ بالورودِ والرياحين.. إن سالكه لن يفوته المنصب وحده، ولن يفوته الجاه وحده، ولن تفوته السيادة وحدها في هذه الأرض، ولكن سيتحمل قولاً ثقيلاً، وسيتحمل جهدًا ثقيلاً، وسيجتاز طريقًا ثقيلاً.. ↗

I guess it goes to show that you just never know where life will take you. You search for answers. You wonder what it all means. You stumble, and you soar. And, if you’re lucky, you make it to Paris for a while. ↗

In this country, it doesn't make any difference where you were born. It doesn't make any difference who your parents were. It doesn't make any difference if, like me, you couldn't even speak English until you were in your twenties. ↗
