“Must, must, must — detestable word. Once more, I who had thought myself immune, who had said, "Now I am rid of all that", find that the wave has tumbled me over, head over heels, scattering my possessions, leaving me to collect, to assemble, to head together, to summon my forces, rise and confront the enemy.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“الموت الذي يقتل الحياة بالخوف حتى قبل أن يجيء. لو رُدَّ إلى الحياة لصاح بكل رجل: لا تخف! الخوف لا يمنع من الموت ولكنه يمنع من الحياة. ولستم يا أهل حارتنا أحياء ولن تتاح لكما الحياة ما دمتم تخافون الموت.”
― نجيب محفوظ, أولاد حارتنا
