    مصطفى خليفة
    “أنا أؤمن بقول يقول إن الإنسان لا يموت دفعة واحدة ،
    كلما مات له قريب أو صديق أو واحد من معارفه
    فإن الجزء الذي كان يحتله هذا الصديق أو القريب ...
    يموت في نفس هذا الإنسان !..
    ومع الأيام وتتابع سلسلة الموت ...
    تكثر الأجزاء التي تموت داخلنا ...
    تكبر المساحة التي يحتلها الموت ...
    و أنا يا لينا ... أحمل مقبرة كبيرة داخلي ، تفتح هذه القبور أبوابها ليلاً ...
    ينظر إليّ نزلاؤها .. يحادثونني ويعاتبونني .”
