“You've a pretty good nerve," said Ratchett. "Will twenty thousand dollars tempt you?"

It will not."

If you're holding out for more, you won't get it. I know what a thing's worth to me."

I, also M. Ratchett."

What's wrong with my proposition?"

Poirot rose. "If you will forgive me for being personal - I do not like your face, M. Ratchett," he said.”

“At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.”
― Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express

“When I arrived in Beirut from Europe, I felt the oppressive, damp heat, saw the unkempt palm trees and smelt the Arabic coffee, the fruit stalls and the over-spiced meat. It was the beginning of the Orient. And when I flew back to Beirut from Iran, I could pick up the British papers, ask for a gin and tonic at any bar, choose a French, Italian, or German restaurant for dinner. It was the beginning of the West. All things to all people, the Lebanese rarely questioned their own identity.”
― Robert Fisk, Pity the Nation: The Abduction of Lebanon

“Every writer on the Orient (and this is true even of Homer) assumes some Oriental precedent, some previous knowledge of the Orient, to which he refers and on which he relies. Additionally, each work on the Orient affiliates itself with other works, with audiences, with institutions, with the Orient itself. The ensemble of relationships between works, audiences, and some particular aspects of the Orient therefore constitutes an analyzable formation[鈥whose presence in time, in discourse, in institutions (schools, libraries, foreign services) gives it strength and authority.”

“We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea 鈥� but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.”

“Die Sch枚nheiten dieser neuen Gegenden setzten mich 眉ber die Ma脽en in Erstaunen. Prachtvolle Gestaltungen, Lagen und Stellungen der Eisbl枚cke. Hier sahen sie aus wie eine orientalische Stadt mit zahllosen Minaretts und Moscheen; dort wie eine durch Erdbeben zerfallene Stadt. Ansichten, die in den schief fallenden Sonnenstrahlen unaufh枚rlich wechselten oder inmitten der Schneest眉rme sich in graue Nebel verloren. Dann allerw盲rts polterndes Zusammenst眉rzen hinpurzelnder Eisberge mit wechselnden Dekorationen wie in einem Diorama.”

“Sie, welche erkennen
das Dorf der Himmlischen H眉gel-
Sie lassen Felder und Trennen,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.

Sie, welche entstammen
dem Dorf der Himmlischen H眉gel,
Sie rollen die B眉cher zusammen,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.

Wer nach dem Staube sich sehnt
des Dorfes der Himmlischen H眉gel,
Geld und Gut er verl盲脽t,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.

Wer einmal den Duft empfing
des Dorfes der Himmlischen H眉gel,
Er l盲脽t das bunte Gewand,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.

Das Dorf der Himmlischen H眉gel:
wer es nur einmal gesichtet,
der hat den K枚rper vernichtet,
Suchend Gott nahe zu sein.”
― Schah Abdul Latif

“... the very appearance of the word 鈥樷€榦riental鈥欌€� as a serious geographic or cultural term triggers alarm bells for any American academic. The late Edward Said鈥檚 Orientalism argued that the word 鈥樷€榦riental鈥欌€� is a fundamentally pejorative term for certain parts of the non-Western world, not only indicating that they are inferior but also justifying Western colonization or domination of them.”
― Peter A. Lorge, The Asian Military Revolution: From Gunpowder to the Bomb

“You are turning me
like someone turning a globe in her hand,
and yes, I have another side
like a China no one,
not even me, has ever seen.

So describe to me what's there,
say what you are looking at
and I will close my eyes
so I can see it too,
the oxcarts and all the lively flags.

I love the sound of your voice
like a little saxophone
telling me what I could never know
unless I dug a hole all the way down
through the core of myself.”
― Billy Collins, Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems

“Bei der Lekt眉re von Sarahs Randnotizen (Kr盲henf眉脽e, schwarze Marginalia, die ich mehr entziffern als lesen musste)konnte ich eine der fundamentalen Fragen erahnen, oder glaubte, sie zu erahnen, die nicht nur Sarahs Werk zugrunde lagen, sondern die auch die Texte von Annemarie Schwarzenbach so fesselnd machten 鈥� der Orient als Resilienz, als Suche nach Heilung von einer geheimnisvollen Krankheit, einer tiefliegenden Angst. Eine psychologische Suche. Eine mystische Suche ohne Gott, ohne andere Transzendenz als die innersten Bereiche des Selbst, eine Fahndung, die im Fall von Schwarzenbach mit einem traurigen Scheitern endete.”
― Mathias 脡nard, Compass

“The historical relativist is the one who adopts an eagle's-eye view on the past, lofty enough not to need to prefer one epoch to another. Warburg was no such relativist. For him the European Renaissance, Burckhardt's Renaissance, the fifteenth century, held the keys to the present. He was fully absorbed by the epic of Europe. The 'Orient' figured for Warburg only as a mystifying threat to Mediterranean reason, a passive source of fascination, coded as female. The non-Western here is the image of a hidden weakness within the West. America, meanwhile, sheltered the remnants of the archaic societies it destroyed and at the same time promised a telecommunicational future of 'instantaneous electric connection' where 'mythical and symbolic thinking.' which once formed 'spiritual bonds between humanity and the surrounding world, shaping distance into the space required for devotion and reflection,' would no longer be needed.”

“Moradi hated using the word "West." He preferred just saying the US or if he wanted to bundle the entire Western Hemisphere, then he would go by the book and say the Occident. He also didn't label Iran as a "Middle Eastern" country. He would always say things like "with Iran being in West Asia." It was a tactical move. After all Iranians weren't Arabs, and this way he aligned Iran with the "West.”
