“ولأن الناس فيهم غرور .. يتصورون أنهم لا غنى عنهم فإذا كان واحد يعمل في مكان وترك هذا المكان، فهو يتصور أن هذا المكان و هذا المكتب أو هذة الشركة أو هذا المصنع سينهار يوماً بعد يوم ولذلك هو حريص على أن يسمع أخبار المصنع أو الشركة”

“The fact that one person imagines a "well-behaved" present and the other a predetermined future does not mean that they therefore fold their arms and become spectators (the former expecting that the present will continue, the latter waiting for the already "known" future to come to pass). On the contrary, closing themselves into "circles of certainty" from which they cannot escape, these individuals "make" their own truth. It is not the truth of men and women who struggle to build the future, running the risks involved in this very construction. Nor is it the truth of men and women who fight side by side and learn together how to build this future—which is not something given to be received by people, but is rather something to be created by them. Both types of sectarian, treating history in an equally proprietary fashion, end up without the people—which is another way of being against them.”
