والآن أشهد أن حضورك موت وأن غيابك موتان والآن أمشي على خنجر وأغني... قد عرف الموت أني أحبك أني أجدد يوماً مضى ... لأحبك يوماً وأمضي... - Mahmoud Darwish

والآن أشهد أن حضورك موت
وأن غيابك موتان
والآن أمشي على خنجر وأغني...
قد عرف الموت أني أحبك
أني أجدد يوماً مضى ...
لأحبك يوماً وأمضي...

Additional quotes by Mahmoud Darwish

سيري ببطء، يا حياة، لكي أَراك
بِكامل النقْصَان حولي. كم نسيتكِ في
خضمٌكِ باحثا عنٌي وعنكِ. وكلَّما أدركت
سرٌا منك قلت بقسوة: ما أَجهلَكْ!
قل للغياب: نَقَصْتَني
وأَنا حضرت لأكملكْ
