“متى كان للدولة فكر ؟ متى كان للفكر الثوريّ طابع رسميّ ؟ إمّا أن يكون الفكر نقديّاً ، وإمّا أن يكون مخصيّاً . وهو المخصيّ إذا استمدّ من سلطة لدولة سلطته . إذ ذاك يتمأسس ، فيستحيل فكراً بيروقراطيّاً . وما هذا الفكر بفكر . إنّه خادم السلطان وخائن نفسه . إنّه المرتدّ بامتياز”

His dark gaze held hers. "I have moved heaven and earth to bring you back to me. I refuse to let you leave again. You are mine and you shall be mine for the rest of my life. Not as my mistress, but as my wife. And if you don't say yes, I shall be forced to drag you into Hyde Park and make love to you in plain view of everyone. Then you will have to accept my proposal in order to save your reputation." His face softened. "I love you, Cecilia.”
