“— Les bijoux, c'est beau comme les fleurs.
Mon père et ma mère éclatèrent de rire. Je trouvai leur réaction déplacée. Un doute se glissa en moi sur la qualité de leur intelligence.
[...] Comparer des bijoux à des fleurs, était-ce signe de stupidité ? Le rire de mes parents traduisait cette indulgence que les grandes personnes manifestent devant les enfants qui leur tiennent des propos niais ou puérils. Je sentais que ma comparaison exprimait une idée essentielle. Elle devait être accueillie par le silence. Le rire en une telle circonstance devenait une incongruité.”
Ahmed Sefrioui, La Boîte à merveilles

“Pour m'occuper, je récitai le peu de Coran que je savais, d'abord à mi-voix, ensuite de toute la force de mes cordes vocales, je scandais les mots du livre saint avec passion. Ma mémoire tarit. J'hésitai un instant avant de reprendre, avec plus de ferveur, ma psalmodie. J'inventais mon propre Coran. Des mots sans suite et sans signification prenaient leur vol, tournoyaient dans l'atmosphère de la chambre, jaillissaient vers le ciel comme des essaims de papillons richement colorés.”
Ahmed Sefrioui, La Boîte à merveilles
