Quotes by Taha Hussein (?)

“I detest farewells and feel that parting, as some foreign poets say, is "dying a little." I do not like to meet death, however easy it may be, nor do I like to be aware of it, to await it, or to fear it. I prefer for it to take me by complete surprise, that it should snatch me away suddenly, that I should exit life as inadvertently as I entered it.”
― Taha Hussein

“يصف السفينة الفرنسية التي سافر بها لبعثته إلى فرنسا: "وكان اسمها (أصبهان) وكانت على بؤسها وفقرها مرحة تحب الرقص في البحر، وتحسن اللعب على أمواجه ولا تحفل بما يلقى ركابها من عقاب حبها للرقص واللعب".”
― Taha Hussein, الأيام

“Najljepše od svega je to što je hodža smatrao da ima lijep glas! Dječak je, međutim, nalazio da Allah nije stvori ružniji glas, a kad god bi kazivao božije riječi: "Najodvratniji glas je revanje magarca", odmah bi se sjetio hodže.”
― Hussein Taha, الأيام
