Thoughts of Ghada Al-Samman

Ghada Al-Samman is the Syrian novelist who releases feelings about everything, and among her most beautiful sayings during the course of her wonderful literary giving:

Kohl is not synonymous with insignificance. Insignificance is when there is nothing in a woman's eyes except kohl.

That is, escape as long as things inhabit us, and as long as we leave to escape from them, we find ourselves alone with them, face to face.

Do not tell me that we parted because I left, our meeting became parting, I knew from the beginning that every great love is a parting project, good evening, parting, sad evening evening.

I will wash my face this morning dozens of times, I will smile as bright as the dawn when I met you.

How love is like snow, it remains beautiful as long as it is far from people, a foot has only set foot in a dream.

Why did life love death, so it clung to it, leaving it only for moments? Why did joy fall in love with sadness.. and one of them no longer comes alone.

I love you, without asking you who you are and what you are, a love without conditions, a love that has the splendor of the ruins of the seasons, a love that declared its independence from you.

A little quarrel refreshes the memory of love, a little quarrel refreshes the heart of love, but we drank from the wine of quarrel until we got drunk and killed each other, and reveled over his corpse even without noticing it.

There are those who feel their simplest right to happiness while sowing half the fruits of illusion.. There are those who feel their full rights to misery while reaping all the fruits of truth. I will continue to walk through your minefields while carrying my white cane like blind people, to see your ambiguity clearly.

Farewell moments, moments similar to honesty, intense curiosity, extreme tension, in which trivial details are reduced and dealing with jewels, insight shines and the soul glows, an attempt to kidnap the last flower on the tree of love, in farewell we do not truly bid farewell. love.

Almost all sins are forgiven in my city, except for the sin of happiness and joy, but love is a loaf that cannot be shared between more than two!

Friendship means a lot to me, it comes to me in the rank of love, because friendship is like love, breaking the loneliness of the heart, and destroying the frost of alienation.

There are people when you meet them.. you feel like you met yourself.

Things that make you laugh are not always fun, sometimes our disappointments disguise themselves as a joke.

When you suffer from setbacks, from sorrows, from anything you remember, the color green is a glimmer of hope that changes the course of your life.
