Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.

- Cicero

Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book

By Nicholas Roerich:

Latin: Non nobis solum nati sumus.

English: Not for ourselves alone are we born.

You, however, must deceive: I know you so far. You must always be ambiguous, with two, three, four, five meanings!

- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Fuck, apparently Cicero didn't say that.
My bad

‏"حتى الآن، بعد كل ما كتبت وما ترجمت، ومرور أكثر من 42 سنة على نشر أول كتاب لي، لا أجرؤ على تصفح أي عمل لي بعد نشره، لأني أشعر أمام كل جملة أنها كان يمكن أن تكون أفضل بكثير مما هي عليه."

‏الشاعر والمترجم عبد المقصود عبد الكريم
