“لم أطلب سوى القليل من الحياة، وحتى ذلك القليل رفضَت الحياة منحي إياه. طلبتُ حزمة من ضوء الشمس، حقلاً، القليل من السكينة مع قليل من الخبز، ألا تثقل علي كثيراً معرفتي بأنني موجود، وألا أطلب من الآخرين شيئاً وألا يطالبونني هم بأي شيء.”

― مصطفى محمود, رحلتي من الشك إلى الإيمان

And yet I am not really wicked. Love me and you shall see! All I wanted was to be loved for myself. If you loved me I should be as gentle as a lamb; and you could do anything with me that you pleased.”
― Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera
