“و قد اجمعت الروايات الاسلامية على التحدث بمأثر المنصور دون ان تخفى جرائمه . و معظمها يصفه بالتقى و يقول ان الجهاد كان قرة عينه. و الحقيقة ان رجال مثل المنصور كانوا لا يتورعون عن الجرائم فى سبيل سلطانهم..اما خارج السلطان و بعيد عن منافساته فلا مانع ان يكونوا ذوى عاطفة دينية و اهتمام بشئون العبادة والاحسان و ما الى ذلك هكذا كان ايضا احمد بن طولون و ابو العباس السفاح و غيرهم من جبابرة تاريخنا ..و على هذا الاساس من الممكن ان نتصور كيف كانوا يجمعون بين الاجرام و التقى .بين الشر الخالص و الخير الخالص دون ان يكون فى ذلك تعارض و دون ان يحسوا بما يرتكبونه من جرائم”
― حسين مؤنس, معالم تاريخ المغرب والأندلس

“There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.”

“Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads, a woman who feels too much, a woman who writes...
Don’t fall in love with an educated, magical, delusional, crazy woman. Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly; a woman sure of herself.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love, knows how to turn her spirit into flesh; let alone one that loves poetry (these are the most dangerous), or spends half an hour contemplating a painting and isn't able to live without music.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics and is rebellious and feel a huge horror from injustice. One who does not like to watch television at all. Or a woman who is beautiful no matter the features of her face or her body.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is intense, entertaining, lucid and irreverent. Don’t wish to fall in love with a woman like that. Because when you fall in love with a woman like that, whether she stays with you or not, whether she loves you or not, from a woman like that, you never come back.”
― Martha Rivera-Garrido

― Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay

“مُضْنــــاك جفـــاهُ مَرْقَـــدُه
وبَكــــاه ورَحَّــــمَ عُـــوَّدُهُ
حــــيرانُ القلــــبِ مُعَذَّبُـــهُ
مَقْــــروحُ الجَـــفْنِ مُســـهَّدُهُ
أَودَى حَرَقًـــــا إِلا رَمَقًـــــا
يُبقيــــه عليــــك وتُنْفِــــدُهُ
يســــتهوي الـــوُرْقَ تأَوُّهـــه
ويُــــذيب الصَّخْـــرَ تَنهُّـــدُهُ
ويُنــــاجي النجـــمَ ويُتعبُـــه
ويُقيــــم الليــــلَ ويُقْعِـــدهُ
ويُعلّــــم كــــلَّ مُطَوَّقَــــةٍ
شَـــجَنًا فــي الــدَّوحِ تُــرَدِّدهُ
كــم مــدّ لِطَيْفِــكَ مــن شَـرَكٍ
وتــــــأَدَّب لا يتصيَّــــــدهُ
فعســـاك بغُمْـــضٍ مُســـعِفهُ
ولعــــلّ خيــــالَك مُســـعِدهُ
الحســـنُ, حَـــلَفْتُ بيُوسُـــفِهِ
(والسُّورَةِ) إِنـــــك مُفـــــرَدهُ
قــــد وَدَّ جمـــالَك أَو قَبَسًـــا
حــــوراءُ الخُـــلْدِ وأَمْـــرَدُهُ
وتمنَّــــت كــــلُّ مُقطِّعـــةٍ
يَدَهـــا لـــو تُبْعَــثُ تَشــهدُهُ
جَحَــدَتْ عَيْنَــاك زَكِــيَّ دَمِــي
أَكــــذلك خـــدُّك يَجْحَـــدُهُ?
قـــد عــزَّ شُــهودِي إِذ رمَتــا
فأَشَــــرْتُ لخـــدِّك أُشْـــهِدُهُ
وهَممـــتُ بجـــيدِك أَشـــرِكُه
فـــأَبَى, واســـتكبر أَصْيَـــدُهُ
وهـــزَزْتُ قَـــوَامَك أَعْطِفـــهُ
فنَبــــا, وتمنَّــــع أَمْلَــــدُهُ
ســــببٌ لرِضـــاك أُمَهِّـــدُه
مـــا بــالُ الخــصْرِ يُعَقِّــدُهُ?
بينــي فــي الحــبِّ وبينـكَ مـا
لا يقــــــدرُ واشٍ يُفسِـــــدُهُ
مــا بــالُ العــازل يفتــحُ لـي
بــــابَ الســـلوانِ وأوصِـــدُهُ
ويقـــولُ تكـــادُ تُجَـــنُّ بــهِ
فــــأقولُ وأُوشـــكُ أعْبـــدُهُ
مـــولايَ وروحــي فــي يــده
قـــد ضيّعهـــا ســلِمَتْ يــدُهُ
نـــاقوسُ القلـــبِ يُــدقُّ لــهُ
وحنايــــا الأضلِـــع معْبـــدُهُ
قســــمًا بثنايــــا لؤلؤِهــــا
قسَــــمُ اليـــاقوتِ مُنَضَّـــدُهُ
ورضـــابٍ يُوعَـــدُ كوْثـــرُه
مقتُـــولُ العشـــقِ ومُشْـــهَدُهُ
وبخـــالٍ كـــاد يُحَـــجُّ لــهُ
لـــو كـــان يُقبَّـــل أسْــودُهُ
وقـــوامٍ يَــرْوي الغصــنُ لــهُ
نَسَــــبًا والــــرمح يُفَنّـــدُهُ
وبخــصْرٍ أوْهــنُ مــن جَــلَدي
وعــــوادي الهجْـــرِ تبـــدِّدُهُ
مــا خُــنْتُ هــواكِ ولا خَـطَرَتْ
ســــلوى بـــالقلبِ تُـــبرِّدُهُ”
― أحمد شوقي

― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“أن الرجل يعتبر جسمه كما لو كان كائنا مستقلا يتصل مع العالم اتصلا حرا خاضعا لا رادته هو .. بينما يعتبر جسم المرأة حافلا بالقيود التي تعرقل حركة صاحبته . ألم يقل أفلاطون : "الأنثى هي أنثى بسبب نقص في الصفات"
أن الإنسانية في عرف الرجل شيء مذكر فهو يعتبر نفسه يمثل الجنس الإنساني الحقيقي .. أما المرأة فهي تمثل الجنس " الآخر”
― سيمون دي بوفوار, الجنس الآخر

“I was very fond of Lagneau’s phrase: “I have no comfort but in my absolute despair.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

“In fact, the sickness I was suffering from was that I had been driven out of the paradise of childhood and had not found my place in the world of adults. I had set myself up in the absolute in order to gaze down upon this world which was rejecting me; now, if I wanted to act, to write a book, to express myself, I would have to go back down there: but my contempt had annihilated it, and I could see nothing but emptiness. The fact is that I had not yet put my hand to the plow. Love, action, literary work: all I did was to roll these ideas round in my head; I was fighting in an abstract fashion against abstract possibilities, and I had come to the conclusion that reality was of the most pitiful insignificance. I was hoping to hold fast to something, and misled by the violence of this indefinite desire, I was confusing it with the desire for the infinite.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
