Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect some day to suffer vertigo. - Milan Kundera

There are moments in life when a man retreats defensively, when he must give ground, when he must surrender less important positions in order to protect the more important ones. But should it come to the very last, the most important one, at this point a man must halt and stand firm if he doesn't want to begin life all over again with idle hands and a feeling of being shipwrecked.

إن ألمنا الشخصي ليس بأثقل من الألم الذي نعانيه مع الآخر ومن أجل الآخر وفي مكان آخر؛ ألم يضاعفه الخيال وترجّعه مئات الأصداء.

To laugh is to live profoundly.
