“Tallal, Lawrence relates, gave a moan like a hurt animal. Then he rode off to higher ground and remained there for some moments, shivering violently and staring after the retreating Turks. Lawrence moved to speak with him, but Auda caught his rein and stopped him. In one blow, in one moment, Tallal had lost every person in the world who mattered to him. and the older Auda, wiser in this matter than lawrence, realized that Tallal now had nothing left to live for.”
― Alistair MacLean, Lawrence of Arabia

“He must have courage, not the physical courage required on a battlefield but the moral courage to make and carry out decisions that might directly counter to the wishes of his superiors. He must have great willpower. and, perhaps above all, he must have the gift of leadership.”
― Alistair MacLean, Lawrence of Arabia

“يقول عن نفسه (وايت ويتمان): أنا الآتي مع الموسيقى قويا، مع مزاميري وطبولي، أنا لا أعزف أناشيدي للظافرين فقط، بل أعزف أيضا للقتلى والمقهورين، إننا نخسر المعارك بنفس الروح التي نكسبها بها.

فألف مرحى للذين فشلوا..
للذين غرقت مراكبهم في البحر..
والذين غرقوا هم أنفسهم في البحر..”
― رجاء النقاش, تأملات في الإنسان

“ثم يقول (والت ويتمان) : ((أنا رفيق الشعب وصديقه.. كلهم خالدون مثلي.. إنهم لا يعرفون كم هم خالدون.. ولكن أنا أعرف. فكل إنسان يحب نفسه وممتلكاته. أما أنا فأحب هؤلاء الذين كانوا فتيانا، والذين يعشقون النساء.. أنا الرجل الأبي الذي يشعر كم يؤلم المرء أن يهان. أحب الحبيبة الحلوة.. والعانس، وأحب الأمهات.. وأمهات الأمهات.. أحب الشفاه التي ابتسمت والعيون التي ذرفت الدمع.. أحب الأطفال والذين يلذون الأطفال..))”

“We seek understanding or larger context for this existence. If we find theological models inadequate, we turn to science, whose researchers state, once again, that the universe popped out of nothingness by some unknown process. They go on to "explain" that life eventually arose equally inexplicably. And this life manifests individual awareness that itself is enigmatic.
this is the scientific explanation for what's going on.
No wonder, in many circles, that such elucidation is not regarded as superior to the old-fashioned "God did it".”
― Robert Lanza MD
