“Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.”

“الناس ساذجة فاهمين إننا بنزور الانتخابات.. أبدا.. كل الحكاية إننا دارسين نفسية الشعب المصري كويس.. المصريين ربنا خلقهم في ظل الحكومة.. لا يمكن لأي مصري يخالف حكومته.. فيه شعوب طبعها تثور و تتمرد إنما المصري طول عمره يطاطي لأجل ياكل العيش.. الكلام ده مكتوب في التاريخ، الشعب المصري أسهل شعب ينحكم في الدنيا.. أول ما تأخذ السلطة المصريين يخضعوا لك و يتذللوا و تعمل فيهم على مزاجك.. و أي حزب في مصر لما يعمل انتخابات و هو في السلطة لازم يكسبها لأن المصري لازم يؤيد الحكومة.. ربنا خلقه كده..”
