Lawrence Wright
“Bin Laden señalaba..«¿Cómo podéis pedirle a la gente que ahorre energía cuando todo el mundo puede ver vuestros espléndidos palacios iluminados noche y día? —preguntaba—. ¿No tenemos derecho a preguntaros, oh rey, adónde ha ido a parar todo el dinero? No os molestéis en responder: todos saben cuántos sobornos y comisiones han acabado en vuestros bolsillos.»”
Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11

Paul Bowles
“Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. Indeed, he would have found it difficult to tell, among the many places he had lived, precisely where it was he had felt most at home.”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

“A diferencia de los árabes, los invasores germanos penetraron en el imperio con una identidad cultural extremadamente flexible. Un franco podía seguir siendo tal por más que hablase una lengua procedente del latín o rindiese culto al altar de un santo galorromano como san Martín de Tours. Desde el punto de vista cultural, a largo plazo los invasores germanos resultaron muy adaptables...por contra, el islam y el árabe siguieron siendo el núcleo de la identidad de los conquistadores, por lo que cualquier nativo conquistado que quisiese convertirse en «árabe» debía cambiar de religión y de lengua.”
Bryam Ward-Perkins

Aristotle
“A friend to all is a friend to none.”
Aristotle

Paul Bowles
“I've always wanted to get as far as possible from the place where I was born. Far both geographically and spiritually. To leave it behind ... I feel that life is very short and the world is there to see and one should know as much about it as possible. One belongs to the whole world, not just one part of it.”
Paul Bowles
