“! الخوف قواد .. فحاذر أن تخاف
قل ما تريد لمن تريد كما تريد متى تريد ..
: لو بعدها الطوفان قلها فى الوجوه بلا وجل

الملك عريان .. ومن يفتى بما ليس الحقيقة
! فليلقنى خلف الجبل
.. انى هنالك منتظر
والعار للعميان قلبا أو بصر
! وإلى الجحيم بكل ألوان الخطر”

“الحق أقول لكم:

لا حق لحى إن ضاعت

فى الأرض حقوق الأموات

لاحق لميت إن يهتك

عرض الكلمات

وإذا كان عذاب الموتى

أصبح سلعة

أو أحجبه أو أيقونه

أو إعلانا أو نيشانا

فعلى العصر اللعنة،

والطوفان قريب”

“I used to listen to the monks repeating the Lord's Prayer; I wondered how they could continue to pray without misgiving to their heavenly father to give them their daily bread. Do children beseech their earthly father to give them sustenance? They expect him to do it, they neither feel gratitude to him for doing so nor need to, and we have only blame for a man who brings children into the world that he can't or won't provide for. It seemed to me that if an omnipotent creator was not prepared to provide for his creatures with the necessities, material and spiritual, of existence he'd have done better not to create them.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

“I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?”
― Voltaire, Candide, or, Optimism

“Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little. I discern great sanity in the Greek attitude. They never chattered about sunsets, or discussed whether the shadows on the grass were really mauve or not. But they saw that the sea was for the swimmer, and the sand for the feet of the runner. They loved the trees for the shadow that they cast, and the forest for its silence at noon.”
― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
