Joumana Haddad
“Don't be afraid of books, even the most dissident, seemingly 'immoral' ones. Culture is a sure bet in life, whether high, low, eclectic, pop, ancient or modern. And I am convinced that reading is one of the most important tools of liberation that any human being, and a contemporary Arab woman in particular, can exploit. I am not saying it is the ONLY tool, especially with all the new alternative - more visual, interactive and hasty - ways of knowledge, learning and growth. But how could I not be convinced of literature's power, when it has been my original emancipator?”
Joumana Haddad, I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman

Albert Camus
“I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.”
Albert Camus, The Fall

بهاء طاهر
“و ماذا كانت ستفعل بنفسها في ليالي الوحدة و الخوف لو لم تكن الكتب هناك”
بهاء طاهر, نقطة النور

سركون بولص
“أنا في النهار رجل عادي
يؤدي واجباته العادية دون أن يشتكي
كأي خروف في القطيع لكنني في الليل
نسر يعتلي الهضبة
وفريستي ترتاح تحت مخالبي”
سركون بولص

François Rabelais
“La verité dans sa matière brute est plus fausse que la faux.”
