Quote by حافظ إبراهيم

“أُمَّةً قَد فَتَّ في ساعِدِها بُغضُها الأَهلَ وَحُبُّ الغُرَبا تَعشَقُ الأَلقابَ في غَيرِ العُلا وَتُفَدّي بِالنُفوسِ الرُتَبا وَهيَ وَالأَحداثُ تَستَهدِفُها تَعشَقُ اللَهوَ وَتَهوى الطَرَبا”

“لقد مكثنا سنوات نهدم الإنسان المصري بحجة بناء الدولة المصرية، فإذا بنا نهدم مصر كلها ! جردنا الإنسان المصري من الحرية بدعوى أننا سنجئ لمصر بحريتها ففقدت مصر حريتها، أخرسنا الشعب لتسمع الدنيا صوت حكومة مصر فمات صوتها فوق الشفاة المكممة”

“كنا نتحدث عن أصالة الشعب المصري. تظنه نائماً وهو يحلم بالخلاص، تتوهم أنه استسلم وهو يستعد للإنقضاض على الظالمين، تتصوره يسبح بحمد الطغاة وهو يلعنهم ويلعن الطغيان! يسكت فتعتقد أنه أصيب بالخرس، ويستمر ساكتاً سنوات، وفجأة يزأر فيهتز لهذا الزئير! .. يسكن مده طويلة فتعتقد أنه مات، وفجأة يتحرك ويثب وينطلق ويحقق المعجزات! عظمة هذا لشعب تجئ في لحظة صدق. قد يختزن آلامه وأحزانه ومتاعبه وعواطفه سنوات طويلة، ثم ينطلق في لحظة لا يتوقعها أذكى الخبراء بنفسية الشعوب!”

“Kwa vile taifa la Israeli lilipoteza haki yake ya upendeleo, Mungu aliahidi kuliharibu kama alivyoyaharibu mataifa ya Waamori na Wamisri. Watu wa Israeli walishafika mbali sana kiasi cha Mungu kutokutegemea tena toba kutoka kwao. Kuna muda wa fursa na kuna muda ambao fursa haipo tena. Nafasi ya Israeli ya kutubu ilishafikia mwisho. Kama alivyokuwa amepigana vita vyao kwa ajili yao katika siku za nyuma sasa Mungu alipigana nao. Pamoja na ujasiri na utaalamu wao wote wasingependelewa tena. Mambo ambayo mwanzo yaliipa Israeli nguvu katika vita yaliwageukia.”

“What I have a problem with is not so much religion or god, but faith. When you say you believe something in your heart and therefore you can act on it, you have completely justified the 9/11 bombers. You have justified Charlie Manson. If it's true for you, why isn't it true for them? Why are you different? If you say "I believe there's an all-powerful force of love in the universe that connects us all, and I have no evidence of that but I believe it in my heart," then it's perfectly okay to believe in your heart that Sharon Tate deserves to die. It's perfectly okay to believe in your heart that you need to fly planes into buildings for Allah.”

“Yeast. The word comes to us through Old English, from the Indo-European root 'yes'- meaning boil, foam, bubble. It does all those things, and more. And would it not be the Egyptians, who construct the largest, most sophisticated buildings in the land, to also harness the tiniest microbe? Of course, they know nothing of yeast. To them, it is magic. They are called the 'bread eaters.' "Dough they knead with their feet, but clay with their hands," Herodotus wrote with derision. The Egyptians do not care. They understand their bread is from the gods, for king and peasant alike. They invent ovens to bake this new, breath-filled dough because it cannot be cooked like the flat breads they know first. They construct clay vessels to hold it. They watch it rise in the heat. They add butter and eggs and honey and coriander, and save soured dough from one batch to add to the next. They eat. They live.”

“Boy, how can you think it wise to truck with this culture of death?" Even at ten I knew the correct answer to that cataclysmic catechism: "Right you are, Father. Much better to stick with the life-embracing imagery of a cult that worships a bleeding corpse nailed to bits of wood." ... Egypt was not — I must repeat for Readers who still do not know it — a culture of death, for all the mummies and bottled lungs, the jackal-men and cobra-queens. The Egyptians were the inventors of immortality, the first men who saw they could live forever.”
