“ويبقى أنني عندما أحدث زوجتي عن نشاطات وإنجازات إحدى بطلات الاتجاه النسائي البارزات (المغالي في دعوتها إلى المساواة بين الرجل والمرأة)، فإن ردّ فعلها يجيء عبر سؤال ساخر مستفز: هل هي جميلة؟!”

“I’ll tell you what is convenient,” he said after a moment. “To sleep until noon and have someone bring you your breakfast on a tray. To cancel an appointment at the very last minute. To keep a carriage waiting at the door of one party, so that on a moment’s notice it can whisk you away to another. To sidestep marriage in your youth and put off having children altogether. These are the greatest of conveniences, Anushka—and at one time, I had them all. But in the end, it has been the inconveniences that have mattered to me most.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“A lot of people experience the world with the same incredulity as when a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat.…We know that the world is not all sleight of hand and deception because we are in it, we are part of it. Actually we are the white rabbit being pulled out of the hat. The only difference beween us and the white rabbit is that the rabbit does not realize it is taking part in a magic trick.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World
