“انهم لا يعلمون شيئا
ولا يريدون أن يعلموا شيئاً
أترى هؤلاء الجهلة، انهم يهيمنون على العالم
وان لم تكن منهم دعوك كافراً
أهملهم يا خيام وأتبع سبيلك”
― أمين معلوف, Samarkand

“Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“God, she was beautiful - my first image of the Orient - a woman such as only the desert poet knew how to praise: her face was the sun, her hair the protecting shadow, her eyes fountains of cool water, her body the most slender of palm-trees and her smile a mirage.”
― Amin Maalouf, Samarkand

“It is much more agreeable to offend and later ask forgiveness than to be offended and grant forgiveness. The one who does the former demonstrates his power and then his goodness. The other, if he does not want to be thought inhuman, must forgive; because of this coercion, pleasure in the other's humiliation is slight.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Aphorisms on Love and Hate
