Amin Maalouf
“What makes me myself rather than anyone else is the very fact that I am poised between two countries, two or three languages, and several cultural traditions. It is precisely this that defines my identity. Would I exist more authentically if I cut off a part of myself”
Amin Maalouf, In the Name of Identity: Violence and the Need to Belong

Amin Maalouf
“كان يجب أن أبتعد، وبسرعة .. أن أسترجع، في الرحيل، صفائي وسكينتي. وعندما أصبح بمأمن من البشر، ربما أتعلم من جديد، أن أحبهم.”
Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice

Haruki Murakami
“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”
Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

Laura Esquivel
“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches.”
Laura Esquivel
