Duaa'

“He realized that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone. What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion. It was as though he did not exist.”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

“وحده الحب يملك هذا الوهج القادر على إبقائنا في دائرة البشرية. الحقد يأكل صاحبه، أسهل الطرق إلى الموت. إنه الوصفة السريعة التي تفضي إلى الهلاك”
― أيمن العتوم, يا صاحبي السجن

“There was only one thing the perfume could not do. It could not turn him into a person who could love and be loved like everyone else. So, to hell with it he thought. To hell with the world. With the perfume. With himself”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

“هذي بلادي عُروقي بالمُنى نَبضَتْ
وخاطري، والهوى المَنقوشُ في كَبِدي
هي الحبيبَةُ عُمري كلّه فلقدْ
رهنْتُ أمسي، يومي دونها، وغَدِي‬”
― أيمن العتوم, نبوءات الجائعين
