“إن المستقبل لم يختره العرب بعد .. فنحن لا نعرف إلا الذى نكرهه ونضيق به .. فكل ما نقرأ هو لعنات لفن العرب , وكفر بما هو كائن .. و لكننا لم نتفق بعد على الذى نحبه .. ما الذى نريده أن يبقى .. ما الذى نحرص على وجوده معنا وبيننا وأمامنا .. إن حاضرنا قلق , ومستقبلنا غيب , وماضينا ملعون .. فبالله يا سيدى إذا كان هذا حالنا , فما أشقاكم معنا ومن بعدنا ..”

She’ll be forced to say something ridiculous like, ‘I am Pooky Bear, from an ancient line of archangel swords.’ Or, ‘Bow down to me, Pooky Bear, who has only two other equals in all the worlds.’ ” He shakes his head. “How is she going to get any respect?”
