“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.”

“فاندهش انت أيضا ياصديقى لكل ماتراه واسمعه فالدهشة بداية الطريق للمعرفة .. ووقود الحماس لمعرفة الحياة والأشياء .والمثقف الحقيقى هو من يعرف أنه لا يعرف الكثير ويريد أن يعرف الكثير .. والجاهل هو من لا يعرف انه لا يعرف حتى القليل ولا يريد أن يعرف المزيد.
والأخطر منهما هو من الذى يعرف أقل القليل ويتصور انه يعرف الكثير .."ويعذب" الآخرين بالقليل الذى يعرفه !.”

“She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar.”
