"‘We will gradually become indifferent to what goes on in the minds of other people when we acquire an adequate knowledge of the superficial and futile nature of their views. of the paltriness of their sentiments, of the perversity of their opinions, and of the number of their errors…,’ argued Schopenhauer, a leading model of philosophical misanthropy."

Yoshida Kenkō
“It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you have never met.”
Yoshida Kenkō, A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees

علاء الديب
“ليس " التخلف" فقراً فقط. إنه كائن أخطبوطي، ولد في الظلام من الفقر والجهل. وعاش في الغفلة والبلادة. تربى في العجز وضيق الأفق. التخلف بالنسبة لي جسد حي، أصارعه في كل لحظة من لحظات وجودي: في بيتي، في عملي، في الشارع، في الوجوه، والمشاعر، في مداخل المدن، وتحت الكباري، في العلاقات بين الناس، في الحب.. فيما أقرأ وأتناول.. فيما أرضى عنه وفيما أرفضه.”
علاء الديب, وقفة قبل المنحدر: من أوراق مثقف مصري

علاء الديب
“على تلك الصخور الملعونة: الحقائق. الإمكانيات والظروف، أرى كائناتى الأثيرة الوردية تتحطم فى صمت، دون دماء أو صراخ أو مآسى .. تتحطم فى صمت كأنها لم تكن.
أشاهد تحطمها: صاغرا، بليدا، متخلفا. غير قادر حتى على تحطيم سور بيتى أو تخطى حدود مدينتى.”
علاء الديب, وقفة قبل المنحدر: من أوراق مثقف مصري

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Old bureaucrat, my companion here present, no man ever opened an escape route for you, and you are not to blame. You built peace for yourself by blocking up every chink of light, as termites do. You rolled yourself into your ball of bourgeois security, your routines, the stifling rituals of your provincial existence, you built your humble rampart against winds and tides and stars. You have no wish to ponder great questions, you had enough trouble suppressing awareness of your human condition. You do not dwell on a wandering planet, you ask yourself no unanswerable questions”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
Rumi
