Book Reviews 2021

Despite the general feeling that it’s still 2020, 2021 is gone and 2022 is still fresh out of the box. I usually do these book reviews by the end of the year, but it took me a bit longer this year due to the same reasons for which I didn’t read as many books last year as I did in previous years. There was the fact that I got married at the beginning of the year, and then the fact that I was prepar

I think the biggest win for this book was the topic at its heart: What is human consciousness and what happens to it after we die? Genius choice of subject matter, and Brown obviously did his due diligence and employed all the research he'd done in a ...more

Quotes by علا عليوات  (?)

“قليلٌ من الانكسار المشروع وكثيرٌ من العزلة، أوليس هذا ما تريد؟”
علا عليوات, قبل السفر

“عيش كي نتذكر وننسى كي نعيش هكذا تستقيم الحياة”
علا عليوات, قبل السفر

“All I know is that while I’m asleep, I’m never afraid, and I have no hopes, no struggles, no glories — and bless the man who invented sleep, a cloak over all human thought, food that drives away hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats up cold, chill that moderates passion, and, finally, universal currency with which all things can be bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same level. There’s only one bad thing about sleep, as far as I’ve ever heard, and that is that it resembles death, since there’s very little difference between a sleeping man and a corpse.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“كلما ذكروا لي الخطوط الحمراء طار صوابي .. أنا أعرف خطا أحمر واحدا، أنه ليس من حق أكبر رأس أن يوقع وثيقة اعتراف و استسلام لإسرائيل”
ناجي العلي

“غزة هذه، أضيق من نفس نائم أصابه كابوس مريع ، بازقتها الضيقة ، ذات الرائحة الخاصة ، رائحة الهزيمة و الفقر، وبيوتها ذات المشارف الناتئة.. هذه غزة، لكن ما هی هذه الامور الغامضة ، غير المحددة، التی تجذب الإنسان لأهله ، لبيته، لذكرياته، كما تجذب النبعة قطيعا ضالا من الوعول”
غسان كنفاني

“ليس المطلوب إعطاء الشباب فرصته كما يشيع في الأدبيات السياسية والتنموية، كأنما هذه الفرصة منحة من السلطة أو من الحاكم، وإنما المطلوب هو الكف عن إعاقة انطلاقة الحياة وتجديدها من خلال تركه بنتزع المكانة ويصنع الفرص.”
مصطفى حجازي
