“When you are gunning to be like other people, you are foolishly repeating their mistakes, and the worst of it all is that you can't even correct yours.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“Furthermore, I refuse to wear a burqa. Of all the burdens they've put on us, that's the most degrading. The Shirt of Nessus woudn't do as much damage to my dignity as that wretched getup. It cancels my face and takes away my identity and turns me into an object. Here, at least, I'm me Zunaira, Mohsen Ramat's wife, age thirty-two, former magistrate, dismissed by obscurantists without a hearing and without compensation, but with enough self-respect left to brush my hair every day and pay attention to my clothes. If I put that damned veil on, I'm neither a human being nor an animal, I'm just an affront, a disgrace, a blemish that has to be hidden. That's too hard to deal with. Especially for someone who was a lawyer, who worked for women's rights. Please, I don't want you to think for a minute that I'm putting on some sort of act. I'd like to, you know, but unfortunately my heart's not in it anymore. Don't ask me to give up my name, my features, the color of my eyes, and the shape of my lips so I can take a walk through squalor and desolation. Don't ask me to become something less than a shadow, an anonymus thing rustling around in a hostile place.”
― Yasmina Khadra, Swallows of Kabul

“Mereka lahir, hidup, dan mati dalam ketidakpuasan. Apa yang mereka bayangkan dan inginkan tidak pernah menjadi kenyataan. Mereka hidup dalam khayalan.”

“Naphta commen莽a 脿 parler de pieux exc猫s de la charit茅 qu'avait connus le moyen 芒ge, de cas 茅tonnants de fanatisme et d'exaltation dans les soins donn茅s aux malades : des filles de rois avaient bais茅 les plaies puantes de l茅preux, s'茅taient volontairement expos茅es 脿 la contagion de la l锚pre, avaient appel茅 leurs roses les ulc猫res qui se formaient sur leur corps, avaient bu l'eau o霉 s'茅taient lav茅s des malades purulents et avaient d茅clar茅 ensuite que rien ne leur avait jamais sembl茅 meilleur.
(ch. VI, operationes spirituales)”

“Demi kezaliman yang terjadi di Palestina, di Kashmir, di Afganistan, di Irak atau di manapun juga ... kenapa mereka rela menyengsarakan saudara-saudaranya yang sebangsa dan setanahair?

Berarti ada yang salah dengan rasa kebangsaan mereka. Mereka merasa lebih dekat dengan warga asing, dengan negara asing, ketimbang dengan saudara-saudaranya sendiri, dengan bangsa dan negaranya sendiri. Bagi mereka, padang pasir dan pohon kurma menjadi lebih penting ketimbang bumi yang subur ini.”

“Sangre de Cristo! Blood of Christ! Rivers of blood! Mountains of blood! Does Christ never get tired of bleeding?”
