“She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

“Playing the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own cowardice.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

“الذين لا يأتون .. لا يقترفون غير خطيئة الغياب ..
أما نحن فنقترف خطيئة الحياة دونهم !
ونظل .. غارقين في الحنين ..مبللين بدهشة الانتظار !”
― محمد الماغوط

“ليست الديمقراطية أن يقول الرجل رأيه في السياسة دون أن يعترضه أحد ..
الديمقراطية أن تقول المرأة رأيها في الحب... دون أن يقتلها أحد”
