“ليس هناك امرأةٌ في الدنيا أجمل منك.. ولكن مشكلتك.. كمشكلة الوردة التي لا تشم عطرها.. كمشكلة الكتاب الذي لا يعرف القراءة There is no woman in the world more beautiful than you But your problem, is like the problem of the rose that does not smell its own perfume Like the problem of the book who does not know how to read.”
— Nizar Qabbani
