Amin Maalouf
“لقد كنت في رومة "ابن الافريقي" و سوف تكون في إفريقية "ابن الرومي". و أينما تكون فسيرغب بعضهم في التنقيب في جلدك و صلواتك. فأحذر أن تدغدغ غريزتهم يا بني ، و حاذر أن ترضخ لوطأة الجمهور ! فمسلماً كنت أو يهودياً أو نصرانياً عليهم أن يرتضوك كما أنت ، أو أن يفقدوك. و عندما يلوح لك ضيق عقول الناس فقل لنفسك أرض الله واسعة ، و رحبة هي يداه و قلبه. و لا تتردد قطّ في الإبتعاد الى ما وراء جميع البحار ، الى ما وراء التخوم والأوطان و المعتقدات”
Amin Maalouf, Leo Africanus

Alberto Moravia
“...my boredom might be described as a malady affecting external objects and consisting of a withering process; an almost instantaneous loss of vitality--just as though one saw a flower change in a few seconds from a bud to decay and dust.”
Alberto Moravia

N.H. Kleinbaum
“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

Conan O'Brien
“I told graduates to not be afraid to fail, and I still believe that. But today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.”
Conan O'Brien

Conan O'Brien
“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”
Conan O'Brien
