“إن قوما عبدوا الله رغبة فتلك عبادة التجار وإن قوما عبدوا الله رهبة فتلك عبادة العبيد وإن قوما عبدوا الله شكرا فتلك عبادة الأحرار وهي أفضل العبادة”
― الحسين ابن علي ابن ابي طالب

“In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
