“آلاف من الناس يُصفعون كل يوم ولكن قليلاً منهم من يشعر بالإهانة أو الغضب”
― بهاء طاهر, قالت ضحى

“الظلم.. لا يبيد.. ما الحل؟
-أن تحدث ثورة على الظلم؟
نعم تحدث تلك الثورة.. يغضب الناس فيقودهم ثوار يعدون الناس بالعدل وبالعصر الذهبي، ويبدؤن كما قال سيد: يقطعون رأس الحية.. ولكن سواء كان هذا الرأس اسمه لويس السادس عشر أو فاروق الأول أو نوري السعيد، فإن جسم الحية، على عكس الشائع، لايموت، يظل هناك، تحت الأرض، يتخفى يلد عشرين رأساً بدلاً من الرأس الذي ضاع، ثم يطلع من جديد. واحد من هذه الرءوس اسمه حماية الثورة من أعدائها، و سواء كان اسم هذا الرأس روبسيير أو بيريا فهو لايقضي، بالضبط، إلا على أصدقاء الثورة . و رأس آخر اسمه الاستقرار، و باسم الاستقرار يجب أن يعود كل شيء كما كان قبل الثورة ذاتها. تلد الحية رأساً جديداً. و سواء كان اسم هذا الرمز نابليون بونابرت أو ستالين فهو يتوج الظلم من جديد باسم مصلحة الشعب. يصبح لذلك اسم جديد، الضرورة المرحلية.. الظلم المؤقت إلى حين تحقيق رسالة الثورة. و في هذه الظروف يصبح لطالب العدل اسم جديد يصبح يسارياً أو يمينياً أو كافراً أو عدواً للشعب بحسب الظروف..”
