“It had to be a mad dream, one that would give her the courage she would need to discard the prejudices of a class that had not always been hers but had become hers more than anyone’s. It had to teach her to think of love as a state of grace: not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end in itself.”
― Gabriel Garcia Marquez , Love in the Time of Cholera

“ثلاثون عاماً. وأشجار الصفصاف تبيض وتخضر وتصفر في الحدائق، وطير الوقواق يغني للربيع كل عام. ثلاثون عاما وقاعة البرت تغص كل ليلة بعشاق بيتهوفن وباخ. البحر في مده وجزره في بورتمث وبرايتن، ومنطقة البحيرات تزدهي عاماً بعد عام. الجزيرة مثل لحن عذب، سعيد حزين، في تحول سرابي مع تحول الفصول. ثلاثون عاماً وأنا جزء من كل هذا، أعيش فيه، ولا أحس جماله الحقيقي.”
― الطيب صالح, Season of Migration to the North
