“A life without a cause is a life without effect.”
― Paulo Coelho, Aleph

“الحقيقة أن الأمل ساورني ، لفترة وجيزة ، عدة أشهر ربما . بعد الثورة مباشرة صدقت . أنا الذي لا يصدق شيئا ، صدقت بيني وبين نفسي . لم أقل لأحد ، ولم أفعل شيئا ، لكن الحقيقة أن الأمل تسلل إليّ . هذه هي المشكلة : اني صدقت ، رغما عني صدقت . ثم توالت الأحداث ، وتحول املي إلى خيبة أكبر . الأمل وهم مؤلم .”
― عزالدين شكري فشير, كل هذا الهراء

“What is a Warrior of the Light?” “You already know that,” she replied with a smile. “He is someone capable of understanding the miracle of life, of fighting to the last for something he believes in—and of hearing the bells that the waves set ringing on the seabed.” He had never thought of himself as a Warrior of the Light. The woman seemed to read his thoughts. “Everyone is capable of these things. And, though no one thinks of himself as a Warrior of the Light, we all are.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.”
