“I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I wish you could read my mind so that you would know how much I want you, no one else. There could be three hundred men after me right now, and it wouldn't matter. Because none of them are you, Archer Hale. None of them are the man I love.”

“وإكتشفت وأنا أحدثها عن نفسي أن لحياتي معنى ، لست ذلك الشخص الهامشي الذي يعيش على حافة المدن ، لي وجه من وجه دون قناع يمكن أن يحب ويعشق ، أدركت فجأة وهي جالسة بجانبي ، وأصابعها في أصابعي أن طاقة نور قد انفتحت أمامي ، فأصبح لي وطن ، وأرض أقيم عليها وأمدّ فيها جذوروي .”
― محمد المنسي قنديل, أنا عشقت

What he had once taken to be pleasures would appear to him in his defeat as hideous and deserved punishments for reckless vanity.”
― Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale
