“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”

“Relationships are built in the silences. You spend time with people, you observe them and interact with them, and you come to know them—and that is what apartheid stole from us: time.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“
وقد أعدم من المحكومين في ست سنين على يدِ الإنجليز في فلسطين وحدها ، أكثر مما أعدم في كل المملكة العثمانية الشاسعة في عهد السلطان عبدالحميد الذي طالت خلافته أكثر من ثلاثين سنة ،،،
رغم أن الناس كانوا ينظرون إلى عبدالحميد كحاكم ظالم ومستبد ... وإلى الإدارات الإنجليزية كإدارات دستورية عادلة حكيمة !!
