“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

“In fact, the sickness I was suffering from was that I had been driven out of the paradise of childhood and had not found my place in the world of adults. I had set myself up in the absolute in order to gaze down upon this world which was rejecting me; now, if I wanted to act, to write a book, to express myself, I would have to go back down there: but my contempt had annihilated it, and I could see nothing but emptiness. The fact is that I had not yet put my hand to the plow. Love, action, literary work: all I did was to roll these ideas round in my head; I was fighting in an abstract fashion against abstract possibilities, and I had come to the conclusion that reality was of the most pitiful insignificance. I was hoping to hold fast to something, and misled by the violence of this indefinite desire, I was confusing it with the desire for the infinite.”

“و قد اجمعت الروايات الاسلامية على التحدث بمأثر المنصور دون ان تخفى جرائمه . و معظمها يصفه بالتقى و يقول ان الجهاد كان قرة عينه. و الحقيقة ان رجال مثل المنصور كانوا لا يتورعون عن الجرائم فى سبيل سلطانهم..اما خارج السلطان و بعيد عن منافساته فلا مانع ان يكونوا ذوى عاطفة دينية و اهتمام بشئون العبادة والاحسان و ما الى ذلك هكذا كان ايضا احمد بن طولون و ابو العباس السفاح و غيرهم من جبابرة تاريخنا ..و على هذا الاساس من الممكن ان نتصور كيف كانوا يجمعون بين الاجرام و التقى .بين الشر الخالص و الخير الخالص دون ان يكون فى ذلك تعارض و دون ان يحسوا بما يرتكبونه من جرائم”
