“قالت ضحى: وماذا تقصد أنت بالشر؟
لم أفكر فى هذا من قبل الآن.. ولكن أظن أننى طول عمرى أكره القهر. قهر الإنسان بالفقر وقهره بالخوف، وأهم من ذلك قهره بالجهل. أن يعيش الإنسان ويموت دون أن يعرف أن فى الدنيا علماً فاته وجمالاً فاته وحياة لم يعشها أبداً.”
― بهاء طاهر, قالت ضحى

“I have advice for people who want to write. I don't care whether they're 5 or 500. There are three things that are important: First, if you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair. And second, you need to read. You can't be a writer if you're not a reader. It's the great writers who teach us how to write. The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it's for only half an hour — write, write, write.”
― Madeleine L'Engle

“We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do.”
