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”

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

“إن العرب ليظلون يتحدثون بضجيج و إدعاء عن أمجادهم و انتصاراتهم الخطابية حتى ليذهبون يحسبون أن ما قالوه قد فعلوه ، و أنه لم يبق شيئا عظيم أو جيد لم يفعلوه لكي يفعلوه .. إن من آصل و أرسخ و أشهر مواهبم أن يعتقدوا أنهم قد فعلوا الشيء لأنهم قد تحدثوا عنه.”
