Michael J. Sandel
“To read these books, in this way, as an exercise in self-knowledge, carries certain risks. Risks that are both personal and political. Risks that every student of Political Philosophy has known. These risks spring from the fact that philosophy teaches us, and unsettles us, by confronting us with what we already know. There is an irony: the difficulty of this course consists in the fact that it teaches what you already know. It works by taking what we know from familiar unquestioned settings, and making it strange. [...] Philosophy estranges us from the familiar, not by supplying new information, but by inviting and provoking a new way of seeing.

But, and here is the risk, once the familiar turns strange, it is never quite the same again. Self-knowledge is like lost innocence; however unsettling you find it, it can never be 'unthought' or 'unknown'. What makes this enterprise difficult, but also revetting, is that Moral and Political Philosophy is a story, and you don't know where the story would lead, but you do know that the story is about You.”
Michael Sandel

غسان كنفاني
“ولكنني كنت أعيش من اجل غد لا خوف فيه..وكنت أجوع من اجل أن اشبع ذات يوم.. وكنت أريد أن اصل إلى هذا الغد..لم يكن لحياتي يوم ذاك أية قيمة سوى ما يعطيها الأمل العميق الأخضر بان السماء لا يمكن أن تكون قاسية إلى لا حدود.. وبان هذا الطفل, الذي تكسرت على شفتيه ابتسامة الطمأنينة, سوف يمضي حياته هكذا, ممزقاً كغيوم تشرين, رماديا كأودية مترعة بالضباب, ضائعا كشمس جاءت تشرق فلم تجد افقها..

****

ورغم ذلك... كنت أقول
لذات نفسي "اصبر، يا ولد، أنت ما زالت على أعتاب عمرك، وغداً، وبعد غد، سوف تشرق شمس جديدة, الست تناضل الآن من اجل ذلك المستقبل؟ سوف تفخر بأنك أنت الذي صنعته بأظافرك, منذ اسه الأول...إلى الأخر" وكان هذا الأمل يبرر لي ألم يومي؛ وكنت أحدق إلى الأمام أدوس على أشواك درب جاف كأنه طريق ضيق في مقبرة...”
غسان كنفاني, موت سرير رقم 12

“The purpose of a good education is to show you that there are three sides to a two-sided story.”
