“people who say its a long story, mean it's a stupid short one that they are too embarrassed and couldn't be bothered to tell”
― Cecelia Ahern, Love, Rosie

“It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes.”

“الحِقد يُضعِف. إنّه يتأكّل الجسم من الداخل ويصيب جهاز المناعة. فعندما يقيم الحقد في دواخلنا، ينتهي الأمر بأن يسحقنا.”
― الطاهر بن جلون, تلك العتمة الباهرة

“philosophy teaches us and unsettles us by confronting us with what we already know; there's an irony: the difficulty consisted in this course is that it teaches what you already know; it works by taking what we know from familiar and unquestioned settings and making it strange. that's how the examples work. ... philosophy estranges us, not by providing us with new information, but by inviting and provoking a new way of seeing. The risk is once the familiar turns strange it is never quiet the same again. Self-knowledge is like a lost innocence, however unsettling, you find it; it can never be unthought or unknown.”
― Michael J. Sandel, Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?
