“سألته السؤال الذى كان يلح علي ليلاً:
ولماذا لا تثورون؟
انفجر يضحك حتى سال دمعه وقال:
هذا شئ يتكرر من حين لحين.. لكن ثورات القرن العشرين التى تحقق غرض الجموع قد صارت تاريخاً بائداً..لن يرى أحد ثانية شاه (إيران) الذى يحلق بطائرته بحثاً عن بلد يؤويه، ولن ترى جثة (شاوشيسكو) أو (موسولينى) معلقة فى ميدان عام”

“Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the United States lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. Most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. Physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.”

“Straw"

I still keep the last straw I picked

from the harvested wheat field near my home

before the war forced me out…

I have the straw framed

and take it with me everywhere I go…

And when asked about it, I tell people:

It is the straw that broke my back…

“I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side, what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.”

“I'm not saying that the world will be reduced to expedient means and ridiculous disorder of the South American republics, - that we could maybe even return to savagery, and walk through the overgrown ruins of our civilization searching for food with a gun in our hand. No; - because such a destiny and such adventures would still presuppose a vital energy, an echo of primeval ages. As the new example and the new victims of inexorable moral laws, we shall perish by what we thought was our life-giver. Engineering will make us so Americanized, progress will create such great atrophy of everything spiritual in us, that the bloody, sacrilegious or unnatural dreams of the utopians could never compare with its positive results.”
― Charles Baudelaire, My Heart Laid Bare: Intimate diaries with 30 illustrations
