Kahlil Gibran
“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Oscar Wilde
“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Madeline Miller
“Odysseus inclines his head. "True. But fame is a strange thing. Some men gain glory after they die, while others fade. What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another." He spread his broad hands. "We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory. Who knows?" He smiles. "Perhaps one day even I will be famous. Perhaps more famous than you.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“There is no law that gods must be fair, Achilles,” Chiron said. “And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. Do you think?”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

رضوى عاشور
“ذهب سعد وراح نعيم يتأمل ذلك الأمر العجيب بإغلاق الحمامات. أن يقاتلك عدوك مفهوم، ولكن ما الحكمة في إغلاق حمام أو إجبار الأهالي على التنصر؟ القشتاليون قوم غريبون مختالو العقول على ما يبدو، ولكن ما السبب في اختلال عقولهم؟ ألم تلدهم امهاتهم أطفال أصحاء عاديين مثل باقي الخلق؟ كيف تفسد عقولهم فيأتون بهذه الأفعال الغريبة؟ فكر نعيم في ذلك ولم يجد إجابة إجابة شافية. لعله البرد القارس في الشمال يجمد جزءا من رؤوسهم فلا يسري الدم فيه فيموت أو يفسد، أو ربما هو لحم الخنزير الذي يصرفون في أكله فيصيبهم بالخبل؟”
رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة
