Nelson Mandela
“عندما يُحرم الإنسان من الحياة التي يريدها ويؤمن بها، فلا خيار له إلا أن يتحول إلى خارج على القانون.”
نيلسون مانديلا

William S. Burroughs
“America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.”
William S. Burroughs

Joseph Campbell
“Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
Joseph Campbell

Bill Bryson
“At the foot of the mountain, the park ended and suddenly all was squalor again. I was once more struck by this strange compartmentalization that goes on in America -- a belief that no commercial activities must be allowed inside the park, but permitting unrestrained development outside, even though the landscape there may be just as outstanding. America has never quite grasped that you can live in a place without making it ugly, that beauty doesn't have to be confined behind fences, as if a national park were a sort of zoo for nature.”
Bill Bryson, Lost Continent: Travels In Small-Town America

Willa Cather
“The country girls were considered a menace to the social order. Their beauty shone out too boldly against a conventional background.”
Willa Cather, My Ántonia
