María Rosa Menocal
“Does poetry - or language or philosophy or music or architecture, even that of our temples - really need to dance to the same tune as our political beliefs or our religious convictions? Is the strict harmony of our cultural identities a virtue to be valued above others that may come from the accommodation of contradictions?”
Maria Rosa Menocal, The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain

Jack Kerouac
“It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.”
Jack Kerouac

رضوى عاشور
“المشكلة يا ولد أن قادتنا كانوا أصغر منا، كنا أكبر و أعفى و أقدر لكنهم كانوا القادة، انكسروا فانكسرنا”
رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

رضوى عاشور
“يقررون عليه الرحيل. يسحبون الأرضَ من تحت قدميه. ولم تكن الأرضُ بساطاً اشتراه من السوق، فاصل فى ثمنه ثم مد يده إلى جيبه ودفع المطلوب فيه،وعاد يحمله إلى داره وبسطه وتربع عليه فى اغتباط. لم تكن بساطاً بل أرضاً، تراباً زرع فيه عمره وعروق الزيتون. فما الذى يتبقى من العمرِ بعد الاقتلاع؟ .. في المسا يغلقُ باب الدارِ عليه وعلى الحنين.. تأتيه غرناطة.. يقولُ يا غربتي! راحت غرناطة.. يسحبونها من تحت قدميه, ولم تكن بساطاً اشتراهُ من سوق بالنسية الكبير”
رضوى عاشور, ثلاثية غرناطة

Antonio Machado
“The wind, one brilliant day, called
to my soul with an odor of jasmine.

"In return for the odor of my jasmine,
I'd like all the odor of your roses."

"I have no roses; all the flowers
in my garden are dead."

"Well then, I'll take the withered petals
and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain."

the wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself:
"What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?”
Antonio Machado
