“In my prayers, I want to say: Lord, don’t be far from me, and also don’t come too close. Let me contemplate the stars on the texture of your cloth, but don’t unveil your face to me. Allow me to hear the rivers that you send running, but Lord! Lord! Don’t allow me hearing your voice”
― Amin Maalouf

“oui, à chaque pas dans la vie, on rencontre une déception, une désillusion, une humiliation.”
