    Charles Bukowski
    “I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”
    Charles Bukowski

    Amin Maalouf
    “لقد كنت في رومة "ابن الافريقي" و سوف تكون في إفريقية "ابن الرومي". و أينما تكون فسيرغب بعضهم في التنقيب في جلدك و صلواتك. فأحذر أن تدغدغ غريزتهم يا بني ، و حاذر أن ترضخ لوطأة الجمهور ! فمسلماً كنت أو يهودياً أو نصرانياً عليهم أن يرتضوك كما أنت ، أو أن يفقدوك. و عندما يلوح لك ضيق عقول الناس فقل لنفسك أرض الله واسعة ، و رحبة هي يداه و قلبه. و لا تتردد قطّ في الإبتعاد الى ما وراء جميع البحار ، الى ما وراء التخوم والأوطان و المعتقدات”
    Amin Maalouf, Leo Africanus

    “Nichts weiter als eine Legende, sagst du? Du willst nichts weiter als Fakten? Fakten sind vergänglich, glaube mir das, nur die Legende bleibt, so wie die Seele nach dem Körper oder der Duft einer vorbeigegangenen Frau.”
    Amin Maalouf, The Rock of Tanios
