“He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I'm not sentimental--I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know,

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

“غزو العراق قد تم ورأيت أننا مسيرون إلى أن نتحول إلى كائنات منقرضة بالية .. الهنود الحمر ماتوا وهم يقاتلون لكننا سنموت ونحن نتفرج ونتصل بـ( ستار أكاديمي ) .. وحينما ينتفض الشارع العربي يكن هذا لأجل منع مسلسل الأطفال ( بوكيمون ) .. الحقيقة أن إسرائيل سعيدة الحظ إذ وجدتنا خصومها .. يلذ لي أن اتخيل مصيرها لو كان جيرانها صينيين أو يابانيين !”
― أحمد خالد توفيق
