“It was curious how that predestined horror moved in and out of one’s consciousness. There it lay, fixed in future times, preceding death as surely as 99 precedes 100. One could not avoid it, but one could perhaps postpone it: and yet instead, every now and again, by a conscious, wilful act, one chose to shorten the interval before it happened.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“لأنَّ لهم دين، يظُّنون أنهم مُعفوْن من أن تكون لهم أخلاق.”
― أمين معلوف
