Quotes by Khaled Al Khamissi (?)

“السائق: إنت عارف أنا عندي حلم كبير.. حلم أنا عايش علشانه.. ماهو الواحد من غير حلم ما يقدرش يعيش.. يلاقي نفسه عنده وخم على طول، مش قادر يتحرك من على السرير، يكتئب، يبقى عايز يموت، إنما بالحلم تلاقي الواحد يتحرك رهوان، يبقى فرّيرة، نار قايدة ما تطفيش.. أنا ح فضل كده ولعة بلف وألف وأحوش فلوس لمدة أربع سنين..”
― Khaled Al Khamissi, تاكسي: حواديت المشاوير
