“I want movement, not a calm course of existence. I want excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I feel in myself a superabundance of energy which finds no outlet in our quiet life.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“تتهيب المرأة أمام مقدرة الرجل لاعتقادها أنه أبرع منها في الإلمام بالأمور من جميع جهاتها فما أشد خيبتها يوم ترى الرجل الذكي الحساس لا يدرك ولا يريد أن يدرك من الحسنات أو السيئات إلا وجهاً واحداً فقط !”
― مي زيادة

“Europe had fallen back into the barbarity of the first ages. People from this part of world, so enlightened today, lived a few centuries ago in a state worse than ignorance. Some sort of learned jargon much more despicable than ignorance had usurped the name of knowledge and set up an almost invincible obstacle in the way of its return. A revolution was necessary to bring men back to common sense, and it finally came from a quarter where one would least expect it. It was the stupid Muslim, the eternal blight on learning, who brought about its rebirth among us.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on the Sciences and Arts and Polemics

“Do not complain of life's unfairness. It is never fair - at best it is impartial.”
― David Gemmell, Lion of Macedon
