**I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.”

~ City of Angels (1998) ~**

**هجروا الكلام إلى الدموعِ لأنهم
وجدوا البلاغة كُلَّها في الأدمعِ.

-إيليا أبو ماضي.**

I can hear the sound of rain in my heart, of the tears that I hide
And it tears me apart, 'cause I keep them inside
I can't get away from the sound of the rain in my heart

Quī docet, discit.
He Who Teaches, Learns.

**Where is God in all of this?"

"Between those who kill in His name and those who die for Him, who, in your judgment, is closer to Him?

"So great is humanity's capacity for evil that the God of justice is indeed silenced by humanity's evil deeds-but the God of sun and moon and stars, of time and space and fifteen billion years that brought humanity into being, the God of life itself, of horses and lions and mountain goats that caught Job's attention- that God is not silenced. The God of the cosmos is not silenced."

The Trial of God
by Elie Wiesel**

**ولكنّ أرواحَ المحبّينَ تلتقي
إذا كانت الأجسادُ عنها نُوَّما

وأحسَبُ روحَينا من الأصلِ واحدًا
ولكنّه ما بيننا مُتقَسِّما**

نسيتُ الموتَ فيمَا قدْ نسِيتُ
كأنّي لا أرَى أحَدًا يَمُوتُ
أليسَ الموْتُ غاية َ كلّ حيٍّ
فَمَا لي لاَ أُبادِرُ مَا يفوتُ !
ابو العتاهية
