“First, he says, you have to go out into the world. This is not a simple matter of going outside one's door. No, that is simply going out. That's what one does when one is on the way to the store to buy a loaf of bread, some cheese, and a bottle of wine. When one goes out into the world, one is shedding preconceptions of past paths and ideas of past paths, and trying to move freely through an unsubstantiated and new geography.”

“وكنت باستمرار
أتابع ركضي في وعر الحياة اليومية
أخفي وجهي خلف قناع المجاملة
كي لا يروا أبخرة نيراني الدفينة,
المنبعثة عبر شقوق عيني و أنفي,
وبقية منافذ الجمجمة المعلبة بالعذاب”

كي لا يروا أبخرة نيراني الدفينة,
المنبعثة عبر شقوق عيني و أنفي,
وبقية منافذ الجمجمة المعلبة بالعذاب”

“<...> though he found that if you are stupid enough to bury a camera underground you won't be taking many pictures with it afterwards. Thus the story has no picture book for the period May 10, 1991 - January 7, 1992. But this is not important. It is the experiences, the memories, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found. God it's great to be alive! Thank you. Thank you.”

“شهداؤنا خرجوا من الأكفانِ,
وانتفضوا صفوفاً ثم راحوا يصرخون:
عارٌ عليكم أيها المستسلمونْ
وطنٌ يُباعُ وأمةٌ تنساق قطعاناً
وأنتم نائمونْ!”
― لو أننا لم نفترق
