The Literary Heritage of the Arabs Quotes

“If a third situation should exist, namely that she has no corresponding feelings for him whatsoever, let him be content with what he finds, and take whatever he can readily get; let him not demand any conditions, or be importunate for any rights. He can only expect what windfalls his luck may bring, or what fruits his labours may ripen.”
― Suheil Bushrui, The Literary Heritage of the Arabs: An Anthology
