“الإنسان المتخلف المقهور يؤمن أشد الإيمان بما يتناقض مع مصلحته وحاجته إلى الانطلاق ,يؤمن بالتربية والحظوظ الدنيوية وتفاوتها.فالناس درجات ومقامات وليس لمغبون أن يعترض على ما يلحق به من حيف ,أو يتطاول كي يأمل في مساواة مع الفئة المحظوظة.عليه أن يتقبل وضعية الاستغلال الذي يلحق به,وأن يعترف بسيادة المتسلط.ليس له أن يطالب بمساواة,بل كل ما يمكن أن يطمح إليه هو الأمل في فضل يتفضل به عليه ذوو الحظوظ.كل ذالك يعطي المتسلط مشروعية تصل حد التقديس,يحرص عليها هذا الأخير ويعززها بجميع الوسائل .”
― مصطفى حجازي, التخلف الاجتماعي: مدخل إلى سيكولوجية الإنسان المقهور

“Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live, and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now. “I’m afraid of committing myself,” she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none. Even in that most important area of her life, love, she had failed to commit herself. After her first romantic disappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pan, loss, and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes not to see the bad things in life.”
― Paulo Coelho, Brida

“How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.”
― Paulo Coelho, Brida

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
