“Every time someone in town wins a literary award, someone will protest — why him, not me, making a big Fuss?
And every time someone in the world wins a Nobel PRIZE, someone will protest and cry — why them, not US?
Envy never wins the PRIZE.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“A true winner isn’t the one who wins an award, but the one who leaves an indelible mark on the world.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“history teaches us that wars are not fought with arms alone. In times of conflict and occupation, language can be a powerful weapon, where refusing the occupier’s words becomes an act of honor, dignity, and defiance. In this sense, every word spoken in a native language goes beyond the boundaries of the conventional concept of speech to become an instrument of boycott and resistance, a pursuit of self-expression, liberation, and survival, and a declaration of self-determination, freedom, and independence.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“Vertrauen ist wie eine kostbare Antiquität: Ist es einmal gebrochen, kann es nicht ersetzt werden.”
― Mouloud Benzadi
