First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me. -Martin Niemöller.

‏كل هذا البرود ناحيتك، كان يوماً حُبًا.

لَا أدرِي لأي دَار أرتَمِي كُل الْأَمَاكِن لَيسَّت مَوطِنِي.

"أن نبتعد عندما نكبر لا يغير حقيقة أننا ولوقتٍ طويل كبرنا جنبًا بجنب؛ ستبقى جذورنا متشابكةً دائمًا، ممتنةٌ أنا لذلك."

‏"لا أمحو الود، لكني سأقطع الوصل إن انتقصت من قدري."

وما أسفي إلا على القُربِ منكم ولستُ على شيءٍ سِواهُ بأسفِ.
