No book has ever said so much while saying so little, and no matter how often I experience the blunt narration from the fictitious, faceless narrator, I am still drawn back to experience each chapter on their own.

Quotes by Tarek Azad  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Then why do you come here, to our country, destroy our culture with your Westernization? I HATE WESTERNERS. I HATE IT WHEN THEY PULL THEIR FUCKING CAMERA UP TO OUR FACES, TO THE FACE OF OUR HARD-WORKING FATHERS AND MOTHERS AS IF WE ARE ZOO ANIMALS. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRIES. STOP COLONIZING OUR CULTURE.”
― Tarek Azad, Sand Escape: Narration from the Arabian Lion
tags: humour

“Where and when the Souls indwell, there is
The City we Love, Life we Court, Home we Know”
― Tarek Azad, Comes Responsibility: Iliads Abroad
tags: novel

“No one in the world will conquer death but we all live in a way as if we have already conquered death. It is because, with all the wealth today, men and women do not know the feeling of hunger. For as long as that thought is kept away, we will always confuse ourselves with God. What else can it be why poor people will remain religious and rich people will worship materialism? It isn’t that religious people are poor, it is that poor people are religious.”
― Tarek Azad, Sand Escape: Narration from the Arabian Lion

“I went to the bathroom and threw some water on my face, combed my hair. If I could only comb that face, I thought, but I can't.”
― Charles Bukowski, Post Office

“Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure.”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger

“(What an odd thing a diary is: the things you omit are more important than those you put in.)”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Woman Destroyed: An Exquisite Psychological Adult Fiction Study of Passion and Betrayal

“love needs too much help, he said.
hate takes care of itself.”
― Charles Bukowski, Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit

“You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall
