ISMA'IL

If you can't even manage to to force your own presumably democratic governments to allow you to do good things for yourselves, then you probably deserve to become extinct.

We’re destroying the world because we are, in a very literal and deliberate way, at war with it.

...we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

These days I live in three worlds: my dreams, and the experiences of my new life, which trigger memories from the past

Ah, God! what trances of torments does that man endure who is consumed with one unachieved revengeful desire. He sleeps with clenched hands; and wakes with his own bloody nails in his palms.

There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.

If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die.

Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.

Over the past thirty years Europe’s influence has transformed Cairo. Now…we are civilized.
