“Thus, sir, you see when faith is lacking, it becomes impossible to create certain states of happiness, for we lack the necessary humility. Vaingloriously, we try to substitute ourselves for this faith, creating thus for the rest of the world a reality which we believe after their fashion, while, actually, it doesn't exist.”
― Luigi Pirandello, Six Characters in Search of an Author

“If only we could see in advance all the harm that can come from the good we think we are doing.”

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

“ما أقسَى أن تنتهي الحياةُ حتى قبلَ أن تبدأ ؟ و ما أقسى أن يسبِق الموت الولادةَ نفسها ؟”
