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.

Life .... decaf !

Well , for me life withouth caffeine is haaaaard, dull, stagnant, and unhappy !!!

Today, i tried hard to be productive at work without coffee, and i couldn't do it :( I hate to need anything and i hate to depend on anything. I tried hard to remember when was the last time i went to work and didn't have my cup(s) of coffee and still manged the day, i think ... Never!, i just love coffee. I think i have to admit it, i'm addicted to coffee. Since college i used to drink 2 large cups of turkish almost every day, merely for the good taste of it, i didn't want to wake up all night or something. But now i have to have my cup of instant coffee first thing at work in the morning so that i can do anything !!

I'm a a coffee slave ............. yet a tasty slavery ;)
