“The truth is that the forms I see have been slowly emptied out. They no longer have any content. They are shapes only. A train, a wall, a world. Or a man. A thing dangling in senseless articulation in a howling void. No meaning to its life. Its words. Why would I seek the company of such a thing? Why?”

“سيب
دايما على قد ما تتساب.. سيب
و على قد ما واحشك أحباب.. غيب
كل الداين.. كان متداين
والدين بيلف بدون ترتيب
أنا عمرى ما كنت بجرح قصد.. لحد ما قلبى اتجرح قصد
أنا جانى وقاضى ومجنى عليه
وطلعت براءة فـ حكم النقض
أنا دومينو ف صف ومش قصدى
كان نفسى أسند قمت موقع
أنا شايل قلبى ف محفظتى
وأول ما تجيلى فلوس.. بدفع
أنا عادى ودورى مالوش سوكسيه
بس دى أرزاق.. والدنيا نصيب
عمر ما فيه عادى بيسأل ليه
من الأصل اتساب... وليه هيسيب!”
― مصطفى إبراهيم, المانيفستو

“You're captives of a civilizational system that more or less compels you to go on destroying the world in order to live. … You are captives—and you have made a captive of the world itself. That's what's at stake, isn't it?—your captivity and the captivity of the world.”
― Daniel Quinn, Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

“Maybe it's not logical. I don't know. I don't care. I've been asked didnt I think it odd that I should be present to witness the death of everything and I do think it's odd but that doesnt mean it's not so. Someone has to be here.”
