I write about wounds, the eternal treasons of life. It's not very funny, but it's sincere. My commitment is to sincerity.

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

Be vigilant, for nothing one achieves lasts forever.

I am a Moroccan writer of French expression.

To lead a country, you must periodically hold a national consultation in which people representing different programmes can make a bid for power.

For me, poetry is a situation - a state of being, a way of facing life and facing history.

I read a poem every night, as others read a prayer.
