Dick King-Smith
“Patience is a virtue,
Virtue is a grace.
Grace is a little girl
Who would not wash her face.”
― Dick King-Smith, Lady Daisy

محمد المخزنجي
“ما الغربة؟ لقد أجهدت نفسى لأحلل ما يمكن أن تكونه، ووصلت -بعد تفحصى للاحتمالات الكثيرة- إلى أنها يمكن أن تكون العيش فى مكان لا تعطى فيه ولا تأخذ عطاءً حقيقيًا وأخذًا من المشاعر.. مشاعر لا يحتملها واجب اللياقة بل تتفجر بتلقائية وتنساب بلا عمد كأنها مياه الينابيع تتفجر لفرط اكتنازها تحت الأرض وتسيل إلى حيث ينتظرها ويتلقف المنخفض. مرة تكون أنت النبع وأخرى تكون المنخفض. لكن الغربة ببساطة تجعلك شيئا مسطحًا، أو ناتئًا ومحجوزًا بسور عال من الدلالات العميقة للغة، وإرث تقاليد المكان وأعرافه وخبراته الحياتية ومشاعره.
من تعطى ومن يعطيك حقيقة وأمامك كل هذا السور؟”
― محمد المخزنجي, لحظات غرق جزيرة الحوت

Khaled Hosseini
“Behind every trial and sorrow that He makes us shoulder, God has a reason.”
― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Emil M. Cioran
“I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Orhan Pamuk
“In a brutal country like ours, where human life is 'cheap', it's stupid to destroy yourself for the sake of your beliefs. Beliefs? High ideas? Only people in rich countries can enjoy such luxuries.”
― Orhan Pamuk, Snow
