“Perhaps the most valuable thing he taught me (his father) was

that there is no contradiction between devotion to work and enjoyment

of life and people”
― Ahmed H. Zewail, Voyage Through Time: Walks of Life to the Nobel Prize

“Interestingly, this was the only incident of blatant prejudice that I can

remember. But I am aware that such opinions exist in human beings, and

it's not a question of being Egyptian or being an Arab or being a Muslim.

One could be a Christian against a Jew or a Jew against a Christian, or a

white against a black, or a man against a woman. My philosophy is not

to let such attitudes stop me from what I want to do. I don't take it very

seriously, although as you can see, I remember the incident very well.

The point was I had to get on with my work and had to behave properly,

and in the process perhaps even change the opinion of these people. But

on the other hand, if I did nothing but complain and feel sorry for myself,

then I wouldn't get anywhere.”

“القصيدة توصف الدم الذكي
ما تشيلش نقطة
توصف ألام اللي ماتت بنتها قدام عينيها
بس وصف
وصف جيد…….وصف خايب
وصف صادق….وصف كاذب
في النهاية……….كلة وصف
كل شعر الوصف
مايساويش في سوق الحق صرخة
الكلام عن كل دة
شئ من التطاول
إنما…..لازم نحاول”
― عبد الرحمن الأبنودي, الموت علي الأسفلت

“Home is not where you are born;
home is where all your attempts
to escape cease.”
