“إن أكبر جريمة يمكن لأي إنسان أن يرتكبها ، كائناً من كان ، هي أن يعتقد ولو للحظة أن ضعف الآخرين وأخطاءهم هي التي تشكل حقه في الوجود على حسابهم ، وهي التي تبرر له أخطاءه وجرائمه...”

“Nothing, nothing mattered, and I knew why. So did he. Throughout the whole absurd life I'd lived, a dark wind had been rising toward me from somewhere deep in my future, across years that were still to come, and as it passed, this wind leveled whatever was offered to me at the time, in years no more real than the ones I was living. What did other people's deaths or a mother's love matter to me; what did his God or the lives people choose or the fate they think they elect matter to me when we're all elected by the same fate, me and billions of privileged people like him who also called themselves my brothers? Couldn't he see, couldn't he see that? Everybody was privileged. There were only privileged people. The others would all be condemned one day. And he would be condemned, too.”

“ولا يزال العبد يعاني الطاعة ويألفها ويحبها حتى يرسل الله -عز وجل- عليه الملائكة تؤزّه إليها أزّاً، وتحرّضه عليها، وتزعجه من فراشه ومجلسه إليها. فلو عطل المحسن الطاعة لضاقت عليه نفسه والأرض بما رحبت، وأحس نفسه أنه كالحوت إذا فارق الماء حتى يعاودها فتسكن نفسه وتقر عينه. ولا يزال يألف المعاصي ويحبها ويؤثرها، حتى يرسل الله عليه الشياطين تؤزّه إليها أزّاً .”
