“The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

“إن الاستعمار الثقافي حريص على إنشاء أجيال فارغة, لاتنطلق من مبدأ ولا تنتهي لغاية, يكفي أن تحركها الغرائز التي تحرك الحيوان, مع قليل أو كثير من المعارف النظرية التي لا تعلو بها همّة ولا يتنضّر بها جبين .. و أغلب شعوب العالم الثالث من هذا الصنف الهابط”

“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”
