“Without the quest, there can be no epiphany.”
Constantine E. Scaros, Reflections on a Simple Twist of Fate: Literature, Art and Parkinson's Disease

Edward W. Said
“فلم يكن القصد من وصف شخص ما بأنه شرقي، على نحو ما دأب عليه المستشرقون، ينحصر في الإشارة إلى أن لغة هذا الشخص وجغرافية بلاده وتاريخه من موضوعات الدراسة العلمية، بل كثيراً ما كان ذلك التعبير يرمي إلى الحط من شأن الشخص ويعني أنه ينتمي إلى سلالة دنيا من البشر، وإن كان ذلك لاينفي أن كلمة "الشرق" كانت ترتبط في أذهان بعض المبدعين مثل نيرفال وسيجالين ارتباطاً رائعاً وخلاباً بالغرابة، والبهاء، والغموض، والوعد، ولكن الكلمة كانت بمثابة تعميم تاريخي مغرق في شموله.”
Edward W. Said, Orientalism

Tahir Shah
“Searching for a lost city is a particularly European obsession.”
Tahir Shah, House of the Tiger King : The Quest for a Lost City

“The first rule of an expedition is that everyone should stick together.”
Tahir Shah, In Search of King Solomon's Mines

“There's nothing quite like a good quest for getting your blood pumping.”
Tahir Shah, In Search of King Solomon's Mines
