“You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”
― Charles Mackay

“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
― Carl Gustav Jung

“I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves.

Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue. Where is the frenzy with which you should be inoculated. Behold. I give you the Ubermensch. He is this lightning. He is this frenzy.”

“ذات مرة كتب طه حسين الى زوجته سوزان يقول: «بدونك اشعر اني اعمى حقا. اما وانا معك، فإني اتوصل الى الشعور بكل شيء، واني امتزج بكل الاشياء التي تحيط بي». وعندما رحل هو عن العالم، كتبت هي تقول: «ذراعي لن تمسك بذراعك ابدا، ويداي تبدوان لي بلا فائدة بشكل محزن، فأغرق في اليأس، اريد عبر عيني المخضبتين بالدموع، حيث يقاس مدى الحب، وامام الهاوية المظلمة، حيث يتأرجح كل شيء، اريد ان ارى تحت جفنيك اللذين بقيا محلقين، ابتسامتك المتحفظة، ابتسامتك المبهمة، الباسلة، اريد ان ارى من جديد ابتسامتك الرائعة..»”
― طه حسين, الأيام
