Nothing is born of nothing, least of all knowledge, modernity, or enlightened thought; progress is made in tiny surges, in successive laps, like an endless relay race. But there are links without which nothing would be passed on, and for that reason, they deserve the gratitude of all who benefited from them.
Amin MaaloufI am the son of the road , my country is a caravan and my life is the most unexpected of voyages. i belong to earth and to the god and it is to them that I will one day soon return
Amin MaaloufIn my prayers, I want to say: Lord, donโt be far from me, and also donโt come too close. Let me contemplate the stars on the texture of your cloth, but donโt unveil your face to me. Allow me to hear the rivers that you send running, but Lord! Lord! Donโt allow me hearing your voice
Amin Maalouf
