“I believe in the flesh and the appetites;”

“A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;”

“The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections,”

“Resist much, obey little.”

So, I think as a writer, I'm really never sure of what I really believe.”

“I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins.”

“Being aware is being aware of one's own mind and the games it plays on itself.”

“Be wise as a serpent and wary as a dove!”

“اصحاب العقول الواقفة عند حرفية النص-قرانا وسنة- كثيرا ما تفلت منهم المقاصد والمنافع فيمشون على وجوههم”

“For the future, I shall rely only upon those elements of my character which I have tested. Who would ever have said that I should find pleasure in shedding tears? That I should love the man who proves to me that I am nothing more than a fool?”
