Lincoln

A compass, I learned when I was surveying, it'll... it'll point you True North from where you're standing, but it's got no advice about the swamps and deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of knowing True North?

Abraham Lincoln, in Lincoln (2012)

Limbo

My father went out of Palestine, we had to leave another time from Kuwait, and now we've left Syria. Everytime you travel from one place to another you have to make new friends, find new houses, new memories. Everything changes. Because you have to start everything from scratch.

Insults

Bravery is by far the kindest word for stupidity, don't you think?

I'm not insulting you.
I'm describing you.


Sherlock Holmes, in Sherlock Holmes.

So gracious

- I need to know that I can trust you.
- Why would you doubt me?
- You've heard me speak plainly and in public.
- I doubt you for one reason only. And that is that you and I are somewhat alike.

You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.

About storms

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.
