I am a Moroccan writer of French expression.

Beauty is first and foremost an emotion.

In the Arab world, there is no link between the cultural habits of peoples and the ways of thinking and creating of modern intellectuals. They are two separate worlds.

Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words.

There is an important erotic element in A Thousand and One Nights, which is one of the keys to understanding the Orient.

My hope is that countries like Morocco will have investment to create work, so people don't have to leave.

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter.
