“اليك المشتكي لا منك ربي ... و أنت لنائبات الدهر حسبي
تروي غلتي و ترم حالي ... و تؤمن روعتي و تزيل كربي”
― أبو منصور الثعالبي, أحسن ما سمعت

“I believe, do you know, we never stop being what we were, young. We don't shed the young self, we just put on other skins, one cover after another, but somewhere in us is still the self we were before we fell, before we started covering ourselves. And all the rest of our lives, we're trying to go back, we're looking for it, what we lost.”
― Nick Joaquín, Cándido's Apocalypse
