“You cannot change the world with ideas. People with few ideas are less likely to make mistakes; they follow what everyone else does and are no trouble to anyone; they're successful, make money, find good jobs, enter politics, receive honours; they become famous writers, academics, journalists. Can anyone who is so good at looking after their own interests really be stupid? I'm the stupid one, the one who wanted to go tilting at windmills.”
― Umberto Eco , The Prague Cemetery

“If he waits for the ideal moment, he will never set off; he requires a touch of madness to take the next step. The warrior uses that touch of madness. For - in both love and war - it is impossible to foresee everything.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

“I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.”
― Mario Puzo, The Godfather

“الحرية التي تنفع الامة هي التي تحصل عليها بعد الاستعداد لقبولها، وأما التي تحصل على أثر ثورة حمقاء فقلما تفيد شيئا، لان الثورة-غالبا- تكتفى بقطع شجرة الاستبداد ولا تقتلع جذورها، فلا تلبث ان تنبت وتنموا وتعود أقوى مما كانت اولا”
― عبد الرحمن الكواكبي, طبائع الاستبداد ومصارع الاستعباد
