“سيأتي المستقبل بكل وقاحة ، و يجعل منا جيلا قديما ، بأغان قديمة ، و أزياء قديمة ، و لهجة هي الاخرى قديمة ، ياالهي نحن نكبر ايضا ، لقد شاغلتنا الحروب و نسينا اننا نكبر ، الحروب الحديثة تبقى مراهقة ونحن نتقدم في العمر الصواريخ فتية ونحن نمضي في السنوات”

“ليس لمعظم الناس سوى مخيلة كليلة ، فما لا يمسهم مباشرة ، و يصدم منهم الدماغ بشكل حاد لا يقوى على هز المشاعر فيهم . لكن اذا ماتفق فوقع تحت انظارهم و في متناول احساسهم حادث تافه ، اغتلى في اعماقهم ، و تحول بسرعه الى عاطفه جامحه . وهكذا يعتاضون -نوعا ما- عن قلة الفائدة التي يجنونها من الحوادث الخارجية بغليان متطرف، و في غير محله .”

“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”

“suddenly, for no reason, I get into the shower and burst into tears. I can cry there because no one can hear my sobs or ask me the question I hate most: “Are you all right?” Yes, why shouldn’t I be? Is there anything wrong with my life? No, nothing. Only the nights that fill me with dread. The days I can’t get excited about. The happy images from the past and the things that could have been but weren’t. The desire for adventure never fulfilled.”
