“اللحظة الصادقة هى لحظة الخلوة مع النفس حينما يبدأ ذلك الحديث السرى,ذلك الحوار الداخلى,تلك المكالمة الإنفرادية حيث يصغى الواحد إلى نفسه دون أن يخشى أذناً أخرى تتلصص على الخط.
ذلك الإفضاء و الإفشاء و الاعتراف و الطرح الصريح من الأعماق إلى سطح الوعى فى محاولة مخلصة للفهم,و هى لحظة من أثمن اللحظات.
إن الحياة تتوقف فى تلك اللحظة لتبوح بحكمتها و الزمن يتوقف ليعطى ذلك الشعور المديد بالحضور حيث نحن فى حضرة الحق,و حيث لا يجوز الكذب و الخداع و التزييف,كما لا يجوز لحظة الموت و لحظة الحشرجة.
و قد تأتى تلك اللحظة فى العمر مرة فتكون قيمتها بالعمر كله.
أما إذا تأخرت و لم تأت إلا ساعة الموت,فقد ضاع العمر دون معنى و دون حكمة و أكلته الأكاذيب,و جاءت الصحوة بعد فوات الأوان.”
― مصطفى محمود

“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.”
― Barack Obama

“The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.”
― John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife

― محمد نجيب, كنت رئيسًا لمصر

“ننسى الأصل أحيانا ونمسك بالشكل.
ننسى أن العمل السياسي في النهاية تعبير عن
حقائق اقتصادية اجتماعية بالدرجة الأولى.

― محمد حسنين هيكل, لمصر لا لعبد الناصر
