“I sparkle and blossom in sunlight. In other words, the sun and I are kindred spirits.”

“Part of me thinks that your very vulnerability brings you closer to the meaning of life, just as for others, the quest to believe oneself white divides them from it. The fact is that despite their dreams, their lives are not inviolable. When their own vulnerability becomes real - when the police decide that tactics intended for the ghetto should enjoy wider visage, when their armed society shoots down their children, when nature sends hurricanes against their cities - they are shocked in a way that those of us who were born and bred to understand cause and effect can never be. And I would not have you live like them. You have been cast into a race in which the wind is always at your face and the hounds are always at your heels. And to varying degrees this is true of all life. The difference is that you do not have the privilege of living in ignorance of this essential fact.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“Except you be fed with the grapes of Love you shall no be filled with the wine of
Understanding.”
― Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad: The strange story of a monastery which was once called The Ark

“انحط الأدب وانحرف عن مساره في مجتمعاتٍ عربية،
حتى سها الكاتب عن هموم البشرية والمحبة والإنسانية.
ولم يعد يجد شيئا يكتب عنه غير الحماقة التي تملأ ذهنَه،
والكرواسون والأطعمة والمشروبات التي تملأ بطنَه.”
― Mouloud Benzadi
