Edward W. Said
“لا يوجد في الأدب نظير حقيقي للعازف، يمكن للكتاب أن يقرأ أمام جمهور لكن هدف عملهم المنطقي انتاج الصمت- القراءة الصامتة - والآن في حالة موسيقي عازف فإن فكرة الأداء بحدّ ذاته هو الهدف مما يفعله في الحياة”
إدوارد سعيد

Edward W. Said
“Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control but to educate and liberate."

(Los Angeles Times, July 20, 2003)”
Edward W. Said

Edward W. Said
“... the connection between imperial politics and culture is astonishingly direct. American attitudes to American "greatness", to hierarchies of race, to the perils of "other" revolutions (the American revolution being considered unique and somehow unrepeatable anywhere else in the world) have remained constant, have dictated, have obscured, the realities of empire, while apologists for overseas American interests have insisted on American innocence, doing good, fighting for freedom.”
Edward Said

Edward W. Said
“All knowledge that is about human society, and not about the natural world, is historical knowledge, and therefore rests upon judgment and interpretation. This is not to say that facts or data are nonexistent, but that facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretation… for interpretations depend very much on who the interpreter is, who he or she is addressing, what his or her purpose is, at what historical moment the interpretation takes place.”
Edward Said

Edward W. Said
“It is quite common to hear high officials in Washington and elsewhere speak of changing the map of the Middle East, as if ancient societies and myriad peoples can be shaken up like so many peanuts in a jar.”
Edward W. Said
