Quote by Faten El-Dabbas

“Alle Häuser haben Schlösser. Und auch Gärten haben Zäune. Mein Herz aber, das will ich nicht verschließen. Es soll leben wie ein freier Vogel. Über dunkle, große, unbekannte Wälder und tiefe, gefährliche Schluchten fliegen. Die Abenteuer und die Gefahren des Lebens, die an jeder Ecke und in jeder Sekunde warten, erleben und durch sie erstarken. Ich will mit dem Herzen leidenschaftlich genießen, selbst wenn Leidenschaft auch heißt zu leiden, dann will ich auch dies mit Leib und Seele tun. Denn ich habe nur ein Herz. Doch sei dir gewiss, es ist alles was ich habe.”

“The problem with all students, he said, is that they inevitably stop somewhere. They hear an idea and they hold on to it until it becomes dead; they want to flatter themselves that they know the truth. But true Zen never stops, never congeals into such truths. That is why everyone must constantly be pushed to the abyss, starting over and feeling their utter worthlessness as a student. Without suffering and doubts, the mind will come to rest on clichés and stay there, until the spirit dies as well. Not even enlightenment is enough. You must continually start over and challenge yourself.”

“I am not one of those who believes—as Obama is said to believe—that a solution to the Palestinian statehood question would bring an end to Muslim resentment against the United States. (Incidentally, if he really does believe this, his lethargy and impotence in the face of Netanyahu's consistent double-dealing is even more culpable.) The Islamist fanatics have their own agenda, and, as in the case of Hamas and its Iranian backers, they have already demonstrated that nothing but the destruction of Israel and the removal of American influence from the region will possibly satisfy them. No, it is more the case that justice—and a homeland for the Palestinians—is a good and necessary cause in its own right. It is also a special legal and moral responsibility of the United States, which has several times declared a dual-statehood outcome to be its objective.”
