“عندما قرر الصهاينة إنشاء دولة لهم
كانت اللغة العبرية لغة ميتة
بعثوها بعثاً من المعاجم و استخدموا مفرداتها
حتى أصبحت لغة حية !
أما نحن فقد ورثنا أكثر اللغات حياة
فبذلنا أعظم جهد لقتلها !”

“صلاة الفجر بالنسبة لي هي إحدى أجمل الشعائر الإسلامية و أكثرها إثارة. هناك شيء خفي في النهوض ليلاً -بينما الجميع نائم- لتسمع موسيقى القرآن تملأ سكون الليل. تشعر و كأنك تغادر هذا العالم وتسافر مع الملائكة لتمجد الله بالمديح عند الفجر.”

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. [Steve] Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”
