“زي الهوي
زي الهوي الساري ...
و خيال الطيف
أحلي سنين العمر بينا تمر
يا نعيش هوانا حلم ليلة صيف
يا تـِتـُوه خُطانا في ليل شـِتانا المر
و لما تتلاقي الوشوش مرتين
ما بيتلاقوش يوم اللُقا التاني
عمر الوشوش ما بتبقي بعد السنين.....
نفس الوشوش دي بتبقي شئ تاني
بتبدل الأيام ملامحنا
..تـِـرعشنا
..تنعشنا
...تشوّشنا
يا تري اللي بيعيش الزمن ... إحنا
، ولاّ الزمن هو اللي بيعيشنا ؟!!
و لمّا تتلاقي الوشوش مرتين
مبيتلاقوش يوم اللقا التاني
عمر الوشوش ما بتبقي بعد السنين.....
نفس الوشوش دي بتبقي شئ تاني”

“The ideological blackmail that has been in place since the original Live Aid concerts in 1985 has insisted that ‘caring individuals’ could end famine directly, without the need for any kind of political solution or systemic reorganization. It is necessary to act straight away, we were told; politics has to be suspended in the name of ethical immediacy. Bono’s Product Red brand wanted to dispense even with the philanthropic intermediary. ‘Philanthropy is like hippy music, holding hands’, Bono proclaimed. ‘Red is more like punk rock, hip hop, this should feel like hard commerce’. The point was not to offer an alternative to capitalism - on the contrary, Product Red’s ‘punk rock’ or ‘hip hop’ character consisted in its ‘realistic’ acceptance that capitalism is the only game in town. No, the aim was only to ensure that some of the proceeds of particular transactions went to good causes. The fantasy being that western consumerism, far from being intrinsically implicated in systemic global inequalities, could itself solve them. All we have to do is buy the right products.”

“Of all that is written, I love only what a person hath written with his blood. Write with blood, and thou wilt find that blood is spirit.
It is no easy task to understand unfamiliar blood; I hate the reading idlers.
He who knoweth the reader, doeth nothing more for the reader. Another century of readers--and spirit itself will stink.
Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it even becometh populace.
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route thou must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.
The atmosphere rare and pure, danger near and the spirit full of a joyful wickedness: thus are things well matched.
I want to have goblins about me, for I am courageous. The courage which scareth away ghosts, createth for itself goblins--it wanteth to laugh.”
― Thus Spoke Zarathustra
