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.”

“He wasn’t sure if he was embarrassed about what he had started or that he hadn’t continued with it to the end.”
