Naguib Mahfouz
“إنه يستيقظ من نوم عميق سلمه إلى تعب شمل النفس والجسم وإنه لا يدري إن كان يستيقظ صباح الغد بهذا الفراش أم لا يستيقظ أبداً، لا يدري ولا أحد يدري، فالموت يجوب شوارع القاهرة طولا وعرضا ويرقص في أركانها، ياللعجب، ها هي أمه تعجن كعهدها منذ القديم، ها هو كمال يغط في نومه ويتقلب في أحلامه، وذاك ياسين يدل وقع قدميه فوق سقف الحجرة أنه انتزع نفسه من الفراش، أما أبوه فلعله الآن منتصب القامة تحت الدش البارد، وها هو نور الصباح ذو البهاء والحياء تستأذن طلائعه في رقة بالغة، كل شيء يواصل حياته المعهودة كأن شيء لم يحدث، كأن مصر لم تنقلب رأسا على عقب، كأن الرصاص لا يعزف باحثا عن الصدور والرؤوس... كأن الدم الزكي لا يخضب الأرض والجدران.”
نجيب محفوظ, Palace Walk

Dorothy Parker
“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“They can see everything they want to, but never forget that they cannot see beyond the distortion of their imagination where there is no color and everything exists in black and white. And that is why we will survive, because they do not have what is necessary to defeat us. The real war is between our imagination and theirs, what we can see and what they are blinded to. Do not despair. None of them can see far enough, and so long as we do not let them violate our imagination we will survive.”
Lawrence Thornton, Imagining Argentina

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her...”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Irony has always seemed the best approach to life, the best way to keep it at arm's length.”
Lawrence Thornton, Imagining Argentina
