“ما من امرأة ضعيفة ، إنها تتظاهر بالضعف ، كما يتظاهر الرجل بالقوة”
― توفيق الحكيم, عصا الحكيم

“Artistic creation, after all, is not subject to absolute laws, valid from age to age; since it is related to the more general aim of mastery of the world, it has an infinite number of facets, the vincula that connect man with his vital activity; and even if the path towards knowledge is unending, no step that takes man nearer to a full understanding of the meaning of his existence can be too small to count.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time

“الكاتب هو عقل متحرك في جسد ثابت”
― بورخيس

“Clearly the hardest thing for the working artist is to create his own conception and follow it, unafraid of the strictures it imposes, however rigid these may be... I see it as the clearest evidence of genius when an artist follows his conception, his idea, his principle, so unswervingly that he has this truth of his constantly in his control, never letting go of it even for the sake of his own enjoyment of his work.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky
