“أنتَ حرٌّ طليقٌ تحتَ شمس النَّهار.
وأنتَ حرٌّ طليقٌ تحتَ نجوم اللَّيل.
وأنتَ حرٌّ طليقٌ إذ لا شمس ولا قمر ولا نجوم.
لا بل أنتَ حرٌّ عندما تٌغمِض عينَيكَ عن كلِّ ما حولك.
ولكنَّكَ عبدٌ لمَنْ تُحِبّ .. لأنَّك تحبُّه.
وأنتَ عبدٌ لمَنْ يحِبُّك .. لأنَّه يحِبُّك.”

“Bir tilki, gün doğarken gölgesine baktı ve şöyle dedi: "Bugün öğle yemeğinde bir deve yiyeceğim." Ve bütün sabah deve arayıp durdu. Ama öğle güneşi yükseldiğinde gölgesini gördü yeniden - ve seslendi kendi kendine: "Bir fare işimi görür!”
