“To Learn is to create. Learning- whether it is programming, mathematics, art, music, poetry, biology, or chemistry- is all about breaking down walls and freeing the one thing that kept us alive: knowledge.
Knowledge expands freedom in all its forms. Knowledge breaks down walls. It liberates the oppressed. We are committed to knowledge. Knowledge as a hammer against classism, against sexism, against racism, against gender discrimination, against slavery, against bigotry, against war, against hatred. If there is darkness in the world, we will light it up.”
― Genius: The Game

“كلما آلمني القيدُ الذي استيقظتُ لأجده في يدي واستعصت علي أسئلة الحياة، أضعها في حقيبة سفرٍ أحملها على ظهري وأرحل.
وكلما مررت بمدينةٍ جديدة فقدتُ فيها طواعيةً جزءاً من روحي ونثرتُ فيها قطعةً من قلبي علّي أجد اكتمالاً في فنائي وأُنساً في غربتي، حتى إذا أوشكت بلوغ خريفي السادس والعشرين لم أجد ما أفقده من قلبي ولا ما أتنازل عنهُ من روحي سوى غربةٍ صمّاء، وصقيعٍ لا ينتهي.
كنتُ خاوياً تماماً كمطارٍ ناءٍ في بلدٍ غير معروفٍ يغازلُ مسافراً لا يجئ وطائرةً لا تهبطُ على أدراجه.”
