“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
― Desmond Tutu (Foreword)

“Everything you can imagine is real.”
― Pablo Picasso

“نَحَنُ بشَوَاهِدِكَ نلُوذُ

وبِسَنَا عِزَّتِكَ نَسْتَضِئ

لِتُبْدِى لَنا مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ

وأنْتَ الذِى فِى السَّماءِ عَرْشُكَ

وأَنْتَ الذِى فىِ السَّمَاءِ إلَه

وفِى الأرضِ إِلَه..

تَجَلَّى كَمَا تَشَاء

مِثْلَ تَجَلِّيكَ فىِ مَشِيئتِكَ كأَحْسنِ صُورَةٍ

والصُّورَةُ

هِىَ الرُّوحُ النَّاطِقَةُ

الذِى أفْرَدْتَهُ بالعلمِ (والبيَانِ) والقُدرَةِ

وهَؤَلاءَ عِبَادُكَ

قَدْ اجْتَمَعُوا لِقَتْلِى تَعَصُّباً لدِينكَ

وتَقَرُّباً إليْكَ

فاغْفرْ لَهُمْ !

فإنكَ لَوْ كَشَفْتَ لَهُمْ مَا كَشَفْتَ لِى

لما فَعَلُوا ما فَعلُوا

ولَوْ سَتَرْتَ عَنِّى مَا سَترْتَ عَنْهُمْ

لما لَقِيتُ مَا لَقِيتُ

فَلَكَ التَّقْديرُ فِيما تَفْعَلُ

ولَكَ التَّقْدِيرُ فيِما تُرِيدُ”
