A Rogue Wandrer ...: Nothing Else Matters, Metallica

ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ... " ـ

توفيق الحكيم

Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.

Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

Nothing Else Matters, Metallica

So close, no matter how far, Couldn't be much more from the heart, Forever trusting who we are, and nothing else matters. Never opened myself this way, Life is ours, we live it our way. All these words I don't just say, and nothing else matters. Trust I seek and I find in you, Every day for us something new, Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know, but I know. So close, no matter how far, Couldn't be much more from the heart, Forever trusting who we are, and nothing else matters. never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know, but I know. Never opened myself this way, Life is ours, we live it our way, All these words I don't just say. Trust I seek and I find in you, Every day for us, something new, Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. never cared for what they say, never cared for games they play, never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know, and I know. So close, no matter how far, Couldn't be much more from the heart, Forever trusting who we are. No, nothing else matters .
