“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”
― Plato, The Symposium

“ولما رأيت الجهل في الناس فاشيا
تجاهلت حتى قيل إني جاهل
فوا عجبا كم يدعي الفضل ناقص
ووا أسفا كم يظهر النقص فاضل”
― أبو العلاء المعري

“The quantitative degeneration of all things is closely linked to that of money, as is shown by the fact that nowadays the ‘worth’ of an object is ordinarily ‘estimated’ only in terms of its price, considered simply as a ‘figure’, a ‘sum’, or a numerical quantity of money; in fact, with most of our contemporaries, every judgment brought to bear on an object is nearly always based exclusively on what it costs. The word ‘estimate’ has been emphasized because it has in itself a double meaning, qualitative and quantitative; today the first meaning has been lost to sight, or what amounts to the same thing, means have been found to equate it to the second, and thus it comes about that not only is the ‘worth’ of an object ‘estimated’ according to its price, but the ‘worth’ of a man is ‘estimated’ according to his wealth.”
― René Guénon

“أنا خدت قلبى ورحت بعيد..

فاكر إنى بكده

أبقى ريحته..

ولما دبل منى..

رجعت أطبطب عليه

من جهلى جرحته..

سألته مالك؟..

قالى..

هربت منه..

مقدرتش استحمل صراحته..

عارف..

فكرنى الميدان ببيتنا القديم

وأمى موجودة كان يبان

أكبر كتير من مساحته..

لما راحت

فضل البيت يضيق..

يضيق..

لحد ما أصبح مفيش..”
