Seif’s Quotes

“لا يتحمل الحياة بلا أحلام ..
منذ طفولتي لم أجرب العيش بلا أحلام ..
أن تنتظر شيئًا .. أن تُحرم من شيء .. أن تغلق عينيك ليلًا وأنت تأمل في شيء .. أن تتلقى وعدًا بشيء ..”
― أحمد خالد توفيق, يوتوبيا

“إنه الخلط المعتاد في مجتمعنا حينما يفترض أن المتفوق في دراسته مثقف حاد البصيرة كذلك.”

“I don't care if it's a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Lawyers are alright, I guess — but it doesn't appeal to me", I said. "I mean they're alright if they go around saving innocent guys' lives all the time, and like that, but you don't do that kind of stuff if you're a lawyer. All you do is make a lot of dough and play golf and play bridge and buy cars and drink Martinis and look like a hot-shot. And besides, even if you did go around saving guys' lives and all, how would you know if you did it because you really wanted to save guys' lives, or because you did it because what you really wanted to do was be a terrific lawyer, with everybody slapping you on the back and congratulating you in court when the goddam trial was over, the reporters and everybody, the way it is in the dirty movies? How would you know you weren't being a phony? The trouble is you wouldn't.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
