“Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

لا أحنُّ إلى أيِّ شيء
فلا أمسِ يمضي،
ولا الغَدُ يأتي
ولا حاضري يتقدَّمُ أو يتراجعُ
لا شيءَ يحدُثُ لي!”
