Amin Maalouf
“In the space of eighteen months three of the most renowned cities of the Arab world - Tripoli, Beirut, and Saida - had been taken and sacked, their inhabitants massacred or deported, their emirs, qadis[judges], and experts on religious law killed or forced into exile, their mosques profaned.”
Amin Maalouf, The Crusades Through Arab Eyes

Emir Kusturica
“Kad ti neko blizak umre, vrijeme ne teče uobičajenim tokovima. I ti, u trenutku kada čuješ takvu vijest, malo umreš. Slabije čuješ, tiše govoriš, postaneš ona ulična svetiljka za koju nisi siguran kako da uopšte daje ikakvo svjetlo. Onda putujući do mjesta gde je sahrana upokojenog, kada stigneš tamo gdje treba, ti ponovo, od želje da ne budeš ni malo mrtav, potpuno oživiš.”
Emir Kusturica
