We have on this earth what makes life worth living: April’s hesitation, the aroma of bread at dawn, a woman’s point of view about men, the works of Aeschylus, the beginning of love, grass on a stone, mothers living on a flute’s sigh and the invaders’ fear of memories.

Additional quotes by Mahmoud Darwish

لكم ربّكم ولنا ربّنا، ولكم دينكم ولنا ديننا

فلا تدفنوا اللّه في كتبٍ وعدتكم بأرضٍ على أرضنا

كما تدّعون، ولا تجعلوا ربّكم حاجبًا في بلاط الملك!

خذوا ورد أحلامنا كي تروا ما نرى من فرح!

وناموا على ظلّ صفصافنا كي تطيروا يمامًا يماما...

كما طار أسلافنا الطيّبون وعادوا سلامًا سلاما.

القهوةُ لا تُشربُ على عجل .. القهوةٌ أختُ الوقت تُحْتَسى على مهل ..
القهوةُ صوتُ المذاقِ صـوتُ الرائحة .. القهوة تأمّلٌ وتغلغلٌ في النفسِ وفي الذكريات
