In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be.

أيها الراكب الميمم أرضي

أقري من بعضي السلام لبعضي

إن جسمي كما علمت بأرض

وفؤادي ومالكيه بأرض

قُدر البين بيننا فافترقنا

وطوى البين عن جفوني غمضي

قد قضى الله بالفراق علينا

فعسى باجتماعنا سوف يقضي!

— عبد الرحمن بن معاوية ( الداخل )

There's a bluebird in my heart that

Wants to get out but I'm too tough for him

I say, stay in there, I'm not going

To let anybody see you

There's a bluebird in my heart that

Wants to get out

But I pour whiskey on him and inhale

Cigarette smoke

And the whores and the bartenders

And the grocery clerks never know that

He's in there

There's a bluebird in my heart that

Wants to get out but I'm too tough for him

I say, Stay down, do you want to mess

Me up? You want to screw up the

Works? You want to blow my book sales in

Europe? There's a bluebird in my heart that

Wants to get out

But I'm too clever, I only let him out

At night sometimes when everybody's asleep

I say, I know that you're there

So don't be sad

Then I put him back

But he's singing a little

In there, I haven't quite let him die

And we sleep together like that

With our secret pact

And it's nice enough to make a man

Weep, but I don't weep, do

You?

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

عندما كنت في العشرين في عمري، كنت أتطلع الى الثلاثين باعتبارها نهاية لشرودي العقلي والجسدي، والآن بعد أن أصبحت في الثلاثين من عمري، لم أعد أتطلع إلى شيئ، لأنني أعلم أن الأمور ستستمر بهذه الطريقة.
