“إدرءوا النار ولو بشق تمرة.. وادرءوا الجهل ولو بقراءة صفحة”
― Ehab Shawky

“Maybe those who left did us a favour after all. They took with them those who were hesitant to fight and left us with those who would never surrender.”
― Ehab Shawky, The Lost Way To Misrost

“I think Misrost will always have those willing to give their lives for the welfare of their nation. They don’t think much of politics and its debates, and they surely don’t want anything in return. Their highest hope is to achieve freedom for the countries in our region, and then return to live normal lives: work to earn a living, find love, and raise good families. They want to live, but as free honourable men, not slaves. This is why they postpone their personal dreams and accept living like strangers and outcasts. Regardless of all debates, opinions, political analysis, and empty talks, those persons will always form the cornerstone upon which all traitors break. They are the stone that shall grind the reasons behind your fears and concerns to dust. That’s because such persons never stop until they make what’s right prevail or die trying. Unlike what their enemies think, their death is never the end, but it’s always the beginning of something bigger, something stronger. Their legacy is like a candlewick, it dies, but the candle’s light remains. Otherwise, why do you think we are all here at this moment?”

― Ehab Shawky

“لست حزيناً أن الكتابات التافهة تُنشر وتنجح وتجد من يشتريها ويدفع وهو مغيب الوعى، بل إنى حزين أن يجد الجاهل والتافه من يعينه ويروج لتفاهته بل ويُخَدِّم عليها، بينما يظل العلماء يحدثون أنفسهم طوال أعمارهم، حتى إذا ما أكرمهم المولى وأراحهم بقبض أرواحهم، قُبِضَ معهم علمهم.”
― Ehab Shawky

“فلسطين عربية والصهاينة مغتصبون مجرمون وكل من طبَّع أو يطبِّع معهم خائن قذر. الأمل فى الشعوب وليس فى حكامٍ ضمائرهم أشبه بضمائر العاهرات، باعوا لحمهم ودمهم من أجل مال سينقلب عليهم حسرة، وباعوا ضمائرهم من أجل سُلطة زائفة لن تلبث إلا أن تزول.”
― Ehab Shawky

“It’s not by numbers that battles are won, but by the sincerity of the few who never surrender.”
― Ehab Shawky, The Lost Way To Misrost
