Additional quotes by Mahmoud Darwish
يحبَّ بلاداً ويرحل عنها:
أنا ما أكونُ وما سأكونُ
سأضع نفسي بنفسي
وأختارٌ منفايَ. منفايَ خلفيَّةُ
المشهد الملحمي, أدافعُ عن
حاجة الشعراء الى الغد والذكريات معاً
وأدافع عن شَجَرٍ ترتديه الطيورُ
بلاداً ومنفى,
وعن قمر لم يزل صالحاً
لقصيدة حبٍ,
أدافع عن فكرة كَسَرَتْها هشاشةُ أصحابها
وأدافع عن بلد خَطَفتْهُ الأساطيرُ/
