see no justice in that plan."
"Who said," lashed out Isaac Penn, "that you, a man, can always perceive justice? Who said that justice is what you imagine? Can you be sure that you know it when you see it, that you will live long enough to recognize the decisive thunder of its occurrence, that it can be manifest within a generation, within ten generations, within the entire span of human existence? What you are talking about is common sense, not justice. Justice is higher and not as easy to understand -- until it presents itself in unmistakable splendor. The design of which I speak is far above our understanding. But we can sometimes feel its presence.
"No choreographer, no architect, engineer, or painter could plan more thoroughly and subtly. Every action and every scene has its purpose. And the less power one has, the closer he is to the great waves that sweep through all things, patiently preparing them for the approach of a future signified not by simple human equity (a child could think of that), but by luminous and surprising connections that we have not imagined, by illustrations terrifying and benevolent -- a golden age that will show not what we wish, but some bare awkward truth upon which rests everything that ever was and everything that ever will be. There is justice in the world, Peter Lake, but it cannot be had without mystery.”

قاوم
أنا لا أقاتل كي أنتصر، بل كي لا يضيع حقي. لم يحدث أبداً أن ظلّت أمّة منتصرة إلى الأبد. أنا أخاف شيئاً واحداً: أن ننكسر إلى الأبد، لأن الذي ينكسر إلى الأبد لا يمكن أن ينهض ثانية، قل لهم احرصوا على ألا تُهزموا إلى الأبد
من رواية زمن الخيول البيضاء - ابراهيم نصرالله

أمل..
بعيدا عن كل شيء .. أريد أن أشرب ماءا نقيا من دجلة والفرات.. أريد أن أروي ظمأي من نهر بردى.. أما نهر الأردن..أريد أن اعبره حافية!
