“Books are sometimes windows, offering views of worlds that may be real or imagined, familiar or strange. These windows are also sliding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created or recreated by the author. When lighting conditions are just right, however, a window can also be a mirror. Literature transforms human experience and reflects it back to us, and in that reflection we can see our own lives and experiences as part of a larger human experience. Reading, then, becomes a means of self-affirmation, and readers often seek their mirrors in books.”
― Rudine Sims Bishop

“يا للخسارة! لقد ضعف بصري، وإني مهدد بفقده نهائيًا ذات يوم، ولم يبق من العمر إلا أيام، وما زالت البشرية تعاني العذاب والقلق، وما زلنا نموت مخلّفين ورائنا أملًا قد تحقق ونسى.”
― نجيب محفوظ, قلب الليل

“قتل فرد جريمة لا تغتفر! أما وأد أمة فمسألة فيها نظر!”
― محمد خليل قاسم, الشمندورة
