“والعبث هو فقدان المعنى، معنى أي شيء. انهيار الإيمان، الإيمان بأي شيء. والسير في الحياة بدافع الضرورة وحدها ودون اقتناع وبلا أمل حقيقي. وينعكس ذلك على الشخصية في صورة انحلال وسلبية، وتمسي البطولة خرافة وسخرية ويستوي الخير والشر ويقدَّم أحدهما - إذا قدم - بدافع من الأنانية أو الجبن أو الانتهازية. وتموت القيم جميعا وتنتهي الحضارة.”
― Naguib Mahfouz, ثرثرة فوق النيل
