― أنيس منصور

“- لست أهوى القراءة لأكتب ، ولا أهوى القراءة لأزداد عمراً في تقدير الحساب .. و إنما أهوى القراءة لأن عندي حياة واحدة ، وحياة واحدة لا تكفيني ، والقراءة - دون غيرها - هي التي تعطيني أكثر من حياة ، لأنها تزيد هذه الحياة من ناحية العمق”
― عباس محمود العقاد

“Although most people never overcome the habit of berating the world for their difficulties, those who are too weak to make a stand against reality have no choice but to obliterate themselves by identifying with it. They are never rationally reconciled to civilization. Instead, they bow to it, secretly accepting the identity of reason and domination, of civilization and the ideal, however much they may shrug their shoulders. Well-informed cynicism is only another mode of conformity. These people willingly embrace or force themselves to accept the rule of the stronger as the eternal norm. Their whole life is a continuous effort to suppress and abase nature, inwardly or outwardly, and to identify themselves with its more powerful surrogates—the race, fatherland, leader, cliques, and tradition. For them, all these words mean the same thing—the irresistible reality that must be honored and obeyed. However, their own natural impulses, those antagonistic to the various demands of civilization, lead a devious undercover life within them.”
― Max Horkheimer, Eclipse of Reason

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
