    But life is what novels are about. A novel can contain more truth than a thousand newspaper articles or scientific papers. It can make you imagine, just for a little while, that you're someone else - and then you understand more about people who are different from you.

    It is well to start by distinguishing the few really great - the major novelists who count in the same way as the major poets, in the sense that they not only change the possibilities of the art for practitioners and readers, but that they are significant in terms of the human awareness they promote; awareness of the possibilities of life.

    She did not seem beautiful to me, especially in the beginning, but even for a long time after that, and then not until later did I come to realise that she was a jewel dropped into the murky waters of a pond, completely out of place in the Gorgani slum, where she seemed to have fallen from the skies, just like the flying Hasan Çelebi, whose name was given to a bridge. “ (Doina Ruști - Homeric)

    ولعل أكثر ما يعذبنى أن أكون مجبرا على النظر للوراء إذا ما أردت أن أطالع حياتى.. القطار لا يتوقف ولا يتقهقر.. ولا أتصور أن جميع المحطات البهيجة قد صارت خلفى.

    إن الأقدار تحفرنا على مدار أعمارنا كرقعه بازل..ثم نلتقي ذات يوم شخصاً يجمع المفاتن كلها أو أغلبها.. شخصاً يطابق رسمه قطعة البازل المنتظرة.. فنحبه ثم ندعي عدم معرفتنا السبب !!

    إن الرجل الذي يحب وهو يتحسس كرامته أشبه مايكون بالملاكم الذي تثور كرامته لأن خصمه ضربه بالبوكس!لا مكان للكرامة في قصص العشق..ولا حلبات الملاكمة ياصغيري!
