“I'm no more modern than ancient, no more French than Chinese, and the idea of a native country, that is to say, the imperative to live on one bit of ground marked red or blue on the map and to hate the other bits in green or black, has always seemed to me narrow-minded, blinkered and profoundly stupid. I am a soul brother to everything that lives, to the giraffe and to the crocodile as much as to man.”
― Gustave Flaubert

“Man does not strive for happiness; only the Englishman does that.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“ليس أتعس من الحظ السيء إلا الرضا به”
― نجيب محفوظ

“فان الموت يعشق فجأة، مثلي

وإن الموت، مثلي، لا يحب الانتظار”
― محمود درويش
