Two Places In This World Make It

Faith Means That A Man Should Regard Any Disaster Simply As A Fate-determined Blow Which Must Be Endured.

I Was Brought Up To Believe That How I Saw Myself Was More Important Than How Others Saw Me.

My Contemplation Of Life And Human Nature In That Secluded Place [cell 54 Of Cairo Central Prison] Taught Me That He Who Cannot Change The Very Fabric Of His Thought Will Never, Therefore, Make Any Progress.

Whatever The Time Or Circumstances, The Feeling That I Am A Peasant Gives Me A Rare Self-sufficiency. Indeed, The Land Is Always There. I Can Go Back To It At Any Time.

I Do Not Care For Socially Recognizable Success. I Only Value That Success Which I Can Feel Within Me, Which Satisfies Me, And Which Basically Stems From Self-knowledge.
