Book cover for War and Peace : Complete and Unabridged: Premium Edition
At that meeting he was struck for the first time by the endless variety of men's minds, which prevents a truth from ever presenting itself identically to two persons.
Rana Rafeh
Looking back for this quote to reflect on what I'm learning in epistemology

Naguib Mahfouz
“هذا هو رؤوف علوان .. الحقيقة العارية ، جثة عفنة لا يواريها تراب ، فقد مضى كأمس ، أو كأول يوم في التاريخ ،أو كحب نبوية ، أو كولاء عليش .. أنت لا تنخدع بالمظاهر ، فالكلام الطيب مكر ، و الابتسامة شفة تتقلص ، و الجود حركة دفاع من أنامل اليد ، ولولا الحياء ما أذن لك بتجاوز العتبة ، تخلقنى ثم ترتد ، تغير بكل بساطة فكرك بعدما تجسد في شخصى ، كى أجد نفسى ضائعا بلا أصل و بلا قيمة و بلا أمل.. أتقر بخيانتك ولو بينك و بين نفسك ؟ ألا يستيقظ ضميرك ولو في الظلام ؟”
نجيب محفوظ, The Thief and the Dogs

Elif Shafak
“The four borders of the Taj Mahal are designed to be identical, as if there were a mirror situated on one side, though one can never tell on which one. Stone reflected in the water. God reflected in human beings. Love reflected in heartbreak. Truth reflected in stories. We live, toil and die under the same invisible dome. Rich and poor, Mohammedan and baptized, free and slave, man and woman, Sultan and mahout, master and apprentice … I have come to believe that if there is one shape that reaches out to all of us, it is the dome. That is where all the distinctions disappear and every single sound, whether of joy or sorrow, merges into one huge silence of all-encompassing love. When I think of this world in such a way, I feel dazed and disoriented, and cannot tell any longer where the future begins and the past ends; where the West falls and the East rises.”
Elif Shafak, The Architect's Apprentice

Roy T. Bennett
“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”
Roy T. Bennett

نزار قباني
“فيا قارئي ، يا رفيقَ الطريقِ
أنا الشَّـفتانِ ، و أنتَ الصـدى

ســـــألتك بالله .. كن ناعـــــــمًا
إذا ما ضممتَ حروفي غـدًا

تذكّــــر - وَ أنت تمـُـــرُّ علـــــيها
عذابَ الحروفِ لكَيْ توجَدَا”
نزار قباني
