“يصل الموهوبون حقاً وحتماً إلى القِمَّة، حتى لو لم يُعترف بمواهبهم فى حياتهم، حتى لو أُبخِسوا قدرهم من الجميع. وكل ما ينقص المُبدع فى أى مجالٍ كان، هو التسلح بالثقة والصبر والإيمان والمُثابره والعلم...وأن يحذَرَ الغرورَ والكسَل، واليأس والغضَب....والإحباط!”
― شادي عبد السلام, اقرئي يا بلادي

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“Liberation as an intellectual mission, born in the resistance and opposition to the confinements and ravages of imperialism, has now shifted from the settled, established, and domesticated dynamics of culture to its unhoused, decentred, and exilic energies, energies whose incarnation today is the migrant, and whose conciousness is that of the intellectual and artist in exile, the political figure between domains, between forms, between homes, and between languages. From this perspective then all things are indeed counter, original, spare, strange. From this perspective also, one can see 'the complete consort dancing together' contrapuntally.”
― Edward W. Said, Culture and Imperialism

“I don't need more,
Don't let the chance go.

All i was looking for,
To live royalty,
My reality.

Over the clouds,
Watching the crowd.”
― Alaaeldin Hamada, 1736: PART I
