“Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on.”

ربما الماء يروب،
ربما الزيت يذوب،
ربما يحمل ماء في ثقوب،
ربما الزاني يتوب،
ربما تطلع شمس الضحى من صوب الغروب،
ربما يبرأ شيطان، فيعفو عنه غفار الذنوب،
.إنما لا يبرأ الحكام في كل بلاد العرب من ذنب الشعوب”

“ان الذين يفرضون علينا سلوكاً معيناً هم حتماً يفرضون علينا تفكيراً معيناً اي مذهباً معيناً او ديناً معيناً او تعاليم و نظريات معينه , اي يفرضون علينا الاقتناع بذلك . اي انهم يصنعون لنا هذا الاقتناع , و ليسوا فقط يطالبوننا به , او يريدونه لنا , او يفرضون علينا اعلانه فقط.”

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.”
