“هل لاحظت معى ان أكثر الناس فراغاً هم أكثرهم ضيقاً بالحياة وافتقاداً للسعادة ؟.. هل تعرف السبب ؟ .. أنا أعرفه .. لأن من أكثر أسباب شقاء الإنسان ضيق أفقه وكثرة انشغاله بنفسه وتفكيره فيها باستمرار كما لو كانت محور الكون .. ومن يشكون الفراغ لا يجدون ماينشغلون به سوى أنفسهم , وكلما ازداد انشغال أحدهم بنفسه رآها جديرة بحياة غير حياته”

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”

“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.”
