Linda Linda said: " Obreht is an interesting young author. The work itself is astounding in the way a debut novel can be, very curious to finish my reading and then form an opinion. "

“وإذا كان لكل قرية ولكل مكان ذاكرة وقلب، فإن المدن الكبيرة، خاصة التي تتكون وتتغير بسرعة، تفقد ذاكرتها وتتعلم القسوة بإتقان”
Abdul Rahman Munif, الأخدود

Umberto Eco
“But can I really will anything? At this moment I feel the pleasure of being stone, the sun warms me, the wind makes acceptable this adjustment of my body, I have no intention of ceasing to be a stone. Why? Because I like it. So then I too am slave to a passion, which advises me against wanting freely its opposite. However, willing, I could will. And yet I do not. How much freer am I than a stone?”
Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before

“السجن فقط ليس الجدران الأربعة، وليس الجلاد فقط أو التعذيب ، إنه بالدرجة الأولى : خوف الإنسان ورعبه ، حتى قبل أن يدخل السجن ، وهذا بالضبط مايريده الجلاد ، وما يجعل الإنسان سجيناً دائماً”
عبد الرحمن منيف, الآن هنا.. أو شرق المتوسط مرة أخرى

“Here we are! Shooting stars. Shooting stars? They burn. Fleeting glimpse. We become human as we fall.”
