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.

Left Handed
Funny, but I always had this kind of certainty that left handed people are very very intelligent.
Well, the post was directly after noticing that Charlie Chaplin is left handed and I assure u he was genius, I can name Cary Grant and Paul McCartney right away as left handed too, I think they too are intelligent. As for the arabs, I don't remember any but that's how I feel it anyway.
I can tell you that my mum was left handed as well as my sister and they both are smart ladies as a matter of fact the odd thing is that Rafael Nadal the top seeded tennis player is right handed but he used his left hand to hold the racket and beat all other players!!!!!
See, so it's not totally a rumor after all :) But this is strange, 2 women in the same family, must be genes because of all the females i've met I can hardly name only one who was left handed, the rest are males actually. A for Nadal, maybe it's somehow normal!, I myself can do somethings much better with my left hand although i'm right handed, but certainly not holding rackets :D thanx for the comment.
