“أشد مراتب الاستبداد التي يُتعوذ بها من الشيطان هي حكومة الفرد المطلق، الوارث للعرش، القائد للجيش، الحائز على سلطة دينية. وكلما قل وصف من هذه الأوصاف خف الاستبداد إلى أن ينتهي بالحاكم المنتخب الموقت المسئول فعلا.”
― عبد الرحمن الكواكبي, طبائع الاستبداد ومصارع الاستعباد

“For my heart was softened by my return, and such a change had come to pass, that I felt like on who was toiling home barefoot from distant travel, and whose wanderings had lasted many years.”

“The day happened to be Sunday, and when I looked on the loveliness around me, and thought how it had grown and changed, and how the little wild flowers had been forming, and the voices of the birds had been strengthening, by day and by night, under the sun and under the stars, while poor I lay burning and tossing on my bed, the mere remembrance of having burned and tossed there, came like a check upon my peace.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
