“He said he hoped a lot of us would have careers in science,' she said. She didn't see anything funny in that. She was remembering a lesson that had impressed her. She was repeating it, gropingly, dutifully. 'He said, the trouble with the world was...'
'The trouble with the world was,' she continued hesitatingly, 'that people were still superstitious instead of scientific. He said if everybody would study science more, there wouldn't be all the trouble there was.'
'He said science was going to discover the basic secret of life some day,' the bartender put in. He scratched his head and frowned. 'Didn't I read in the paper the other day where they'd finally found out what it was?'
'I missed that,' I murmured.
' I saw that, said Sandra. "About two days ago.'
'That's right,' said the bartender.
'What is the secret of life?' I asked.
'I forget,' said Sandra.
'Protein,' the bartender declared. 'They found out something about protein.'
'Yeah,' said Sandra, 'that's it.”

“لقد وقفت مشدوها يا صديقي، وكأني أرى هذا المزيج الهلامي المعلق بين الأرض و السماء كأني أرى الإرادة المجتمعة ، كأني أرى كل ما لدى الناس من حب وقد ضمته صرخة واحدة. كأن تلك الأجساد الخشنة الملوثة بالطين والتراب تفرز مادة أكثر سمواً من الحياة ، خلاصة الحياة، جماع كل ما هو قادر فيها وقاهر ، وجماع كل ما لا يمكن مقاومته ، القوة العليا الخارقة ، سر الحياة .”

“The Game
Today i want to play a game,
you'll win if you can guess my name,
I am the one who hide behind shadows,
Behind my smile i hide my deepest sorrows,
I am the one who wants to be loved,
But can't overcome the memories of once beloved,
I am the one who hear voices and see faces,
find a friend who love and actually cares,
I am the one who spent his life in illusion,
Believing that everything happens for a reason,
I am the one who is scared of happiness,
Because of that i never lived in fullness,
I am the one who lost the meaning of life,
There is no motivation which can thrive,
I am the one who failed a lot,
All the lessons i remember is what life taught,
I am the one people love his silence,
Ignoring the pain adoring his patience,
Look at me one more time and guess my name,
you'll win if you can guess my name,”

“The answer to the question - what is the secret of a good relationship? - is One realizing it is Two not to be alOne. Of course Man and WoMan are One. One perceives itSelf as Two not to be by itSelf. Let me illustrate this by the following story. I have this Dachshund named Ouroboros. Ouroboros is by itself. Ouroboros likes companionship. But Ouroboros is alone. What does Ouroboros do? Ouroboros sees itself, its own tail, and starts chasing it. Round and Round Ouroboros goes. Indeed like Earth. That's how Earth appears round by the way. But let's return to Ouroboros. Man and WoMan are actually Ouroboros. Forget about such nonsense that Man is from Mars and WoMan is from Venus. Man and WoMan are One not wanting to be alOne. Of course there is no division. Of course there is no separation. Of course Man and WoMan are always in relationship with each other. There where is the other is Ouroboros chasing itself! The desire not to be alOne, the desire for Companionship, the desire to Love and Be Loved is what drives Human-kind. Conclusion? Don't stop chasing each other. It's all about Love. Woof. Woof! Please note: the above is not exclusive to relationships between men and women but nations too. Humankind must never forget it is One perceiving itself as Two not to be alOne. In other words. Humankind must never forget its raison d'être is Love. Love is Purpose. Loneliness is Cause. Always return to Love when in doubt for Love is always aRound.”

“In the end of life!
When we’ll become none by expectations, we’ll realize one thing that everyone, every phase & every experience was right in all places. Everything was just perfect. Every moment has been lived for a reason & outcome of that reason is TODAY.
Today I’m remained to see the remained love. Today I’m here to experience the last kiss my story. Today I’ve learned to respect the life little more as it’s going to be a memory tomorrow. Today my identity is the fruit for the truth of my life. This is the one & whole secret of my life. I don’t care how it passed through up till now, I want to make it more thrilling on my last breath too!”
