Carl von Clausewitz
“Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.”
Karl Von Clausewitz

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
“Failure is not falling to the ground; it is remaining there once you have fallen and the greatest failure is when you decide not to stand up again.”
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, My Vision Challenges In The Race For Excellence

Tony Horwitz
“Egyptians undergo an odd personality change behind the wheel of a car. In every other setting, aggression and impatience are frowned upon. The unofficial Egyptian anthem "Bokra, Insha'allah, Malesh" (Tomorrow, God Willing, Never Mind) isn't just an excuse for laziness. In a society requiring millennial patience, it is also a social code dictating that no one make too much of a fuss about things. But put an Egyptian in the driver's seat and he shows all the calm and consideration of a hooded swordsman delivering Islamic justice.”
Tony Horwitz, Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia

Kenneth M. Pollack
“One does not have to be without sin to castigate someone else for being a rapist or murderer" (386).”
Kenneth Pollack, Unthinkable: Iran, the Bomb, and American Strategy

Aysha Taryam
“The Arab Spring whose seeds failed to bloom anything other than a chaotic mess that requires only blood to grow has contributed immensely to the rising numbers of these migrants.”
Aysha Taryam
