“ردّد في سرِّك إن الصمت مريحٌ لك وللآخرين ، وبخاصةً الآخرين .”
Tahar Ben Jelloun, تلك العتمة الباهرة

“إن أكثر الأمور الاعتيادية تفاهةً، تصبح في المحن العصيبة، غير اعتيادية، لا بل أكثر ما يُرغَب فيه من أمور الدنيا”
Tahar Ben Jelloun, تلك العتمة الباهرة

“في تلك اللحظة عشت هنيهات من الطمأنينة الغامرة. فما عاد شيء يقدر على أن يصيبني. أن أخرج، أن أبقى، أن أنجو، أن أموت؛ سيان عندي. فلسوف أكون من الناجين ما دامت لي القدرة على الصلاة وعلى التواصل مع الخالق. لقد بلغت أخير عتبة الأبدية، هناك حيث لا وجود لحقد البشر وخستهم و صغارتهم”
