“واعلم يا فتى أن أول الحب سكن.. ولا يكون السكن إلا بعد اضطراب وصخب.. وذاك أن روح العاشق لا تزال تمور وتضطرب بين شوق وحاجة، حتى يتصل بمن سلب لبّه وملك أمره.. فإذا اتصلا سكن ما في أنفسهما.. وهدأ ما بين جنبيهما..

ثم تكون المودة.. وهي النهر الهادئ.. وتكون حين لا يرجو العاشق إشباع شهوة أو تحقيق غريزة بقدر ما يرجو إسعاد معشوقه والسعادة به.. وهي – أي المودة - ضوء تلمحه في عينيهما.. وجرس تسمعه في صوتيهما.. وشبه تراه في ملامحهما حتى يخيل لك أنهما واحد..

ثم يطوى الليل والنهار.. فترق العظام من بعد صلابة.. وتذبل الأجساد من بعد قوة.. فتكون الرحمة.. وهي عطف على ضعف.. ولا يغرنك قول بعضهم أنها خاصة بالرجل تجاه امرأته.. فإن من عمّر في الحب، عرف أن الرجل إلى رحمة المرأة أحوج.. وإلى عطفها أفقر وأطلب..

من رسائل المعلم فرحان إلى الفتى ذي الرأسين..”

تامر عبد رب النبي
“فالإنسان كما يسكن داخل قصر أو منزل أو عشة فإنه يسكن أيضا داخل طموحه أو شغفه أو نزواته أو هلاوسه المرضية، وويل للإنسان إذا ملك الدنيا وهو في حقيقة الأمر لا يملك نفسه.”
تامر عبد رب النبي

“I've told you before, Egyptians are not found in Cairo or in Alexandria' she said. 'You've never really known Egyptians. I hate Egyptians of your class as much as I do my parents.'

' What am I, then, if I am not Egyptian?'

'You are what you are; and that is a human being born in Egypt, who went to an English public school, who has read a lot of books, and who has an imagination. But to say that you are this or that or Egyptian, is nonsense.'

'What are you, Edna?'

'I can't be generalized about either, except that I was born Jewish. But the difference between you and me is that I know Egyptians and love them.”

“I had become a bit 'loud' lately, a sort of cocksureness which I loathed to see in others and yet was aware of in myself. I suppose if a young man feels he is loved by a rich and beautiful woman, it isn't unnatural for him to be a bit arrogant, but my arrogance was not natural. I sincerely believed if I manifested humility and a loving gratitude to Edna, I would not be loved in return. It is all right for people to pretend that love breeds love, but it is not. The seed of love is indifference.”

“She opened her eyes. We remained close, looking at one another.
No amount of talking or explaining will really bring two lovers or two friends closer than they can be in silence.
'Please, Ram,' she whispered. 'Go away now.”
Waguih Ghali, Beer in the Snooker Club
