Quotes by Ezzedine C. Fishere (?)

“Seven years of dealing with a society hooked on its own hang-ups, a prisoner of its victim mentality, and hostile to anyone who suggested it needed to get out of the mess it was in convinced him that this was a doomed nation. Nothing and no one could rescue it. So he decided to save himself instead”
― Ezzedine C. Fishere, Embrace on Brooklyn Bridge

“الشعب لا وجود له؛ هناك أفراد يسعون خلف همومهم ويحاولون البقاء على قيد الحياة وإنسانيين، لكن لا وجود لشيء اسمه الشعب. مهما عجزت الدولة أو توحشت، فلا يوجد من يردها، لا من داخلها ولا من خارجها.”
