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.

One Fine Day :) 1996


Kristen : Why am I always the grown-up?
Jack : Because at the start of the relationship, when we chose sides, you chose grown-up first.
---
Jack : We're not quite together yet. Sorry. What do you mean, I must be Kristen's ex-husband?
Melanie : That's her daughter, and this is a totally ex-husband thing to do.
Jack : You'd know because that's a totally ex-wife remark.
Melanie : You know, I have a day. Taxi!
Jack :Taxi!
---
Jack :Just because the frosting is my specialty doesn't mean that I can't do more. I have many layers to me. And they're not all vanilla, either. I have chocolate in me. I have a deep, dark chocolate...
---
Jack : I'm sick of angry, resentful......fish......who think that you owe them......but who won't trust you for a second to do anything for 'em.
Dr. Martin: There are other fish in the sea.
Jack : Yes, I know.It's just... I wish I could find a fish who wasn't afraid of my dark-chocolate layer. And she'd have to love my cookie too.
---
Jack : That's an advantage of being an adult. You get to act like a kid any time you feel like it.
---
Melanie : I was sure you'd either show up three hours late or not at all.
Jack : I'm not like every other man you know.
Melanie : I realize that. I was kidding.
Jack : No, you weren't but...
Melanie : I'm not like every other woman you know.
Jack : Really?
Melanie : Yeah.You probably think I'm a real control freak. And I'm not, at all. Well, I mean, I do like things the way I like them, but who doesn't? And, anyway, in my life I'm the only one who ever does anything so... what does it matter?
Jack : Maybe you should let somebody help you out every once in a while.
Melanie : Definitely not. I've got all these balls up in the air. If somebody else caught one
for me, I'd drop them all.
Jack : But you're not a control freak?
Melanie : No. I'm a single, working mother.
