وما قتَلَتني الحادثاتُ وإنما... حياةُ الفتى في غير مَوضعهِ قَتـْل

Did you ever think Of where we were going Boats know where they are sailing, Fish know where they are swimming, Birds know where they are flying Yet we flounder in the water But do not sink. We wear traveling clothes But do not travel We write letters But do not mail them We buy tickets On all departing planes But stay in the airport. You and I are The most cowardly travelers ever.

لِكُلِّ اجْتِمَاعٍ مِنْ خَلِيلَيْنِ فُرْقَةٌ وَكُلُّ الَّذِي دُونَ المَمَاتِ قَلِيلُ وَإِنَّ افْتِقَادِي فَاطِماً بَعْدَ أَحْمَدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَدُومَ خَلِيلُ. -أَمير المُؤمِنين عَلِيهِ السَلَام.
