“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”

“الأرض كلها فندق.. وبيتي القدس”
― إدوارد سعيد

“Out of this unstable mix of technocracy and national security you have a nostalgia developing for colonialism or religion—atavistic in my opinion, but some people want them back. Sadat is the great example of that: he threw out the Russians, as well as everything else that represented Abdel Nasser, ascendant nationalism, and so forth—and said, “Let the Americans come.” Then you have a new period of what in Arabic is called an infitah—in other words, an opening of the country to a new imperialism: technocratic management, not production but services—tourism, hotels, banking, etc. That’s where we are right now.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
