“إن الضمير الآثم لا يحتاج إلى أصبع إتهام
لذا ابدأوا بمحاكمة أنفسكم أمام ضمائركم
وأعلموا أن شجرة الظلم لا تثمر
وإن من بالغ في استسلامه ضاق فكره عن رؤية الحقيقية
ومن صدق كذب الحياة سخر منه ضميره
وأن عواقب الصمت أشد خطورة من أسبابه
ولأن الضمير هو منارة الإنسان إلى الصواب نستعين به لتحقيق الحلم العربي
لذا دعوا ضمائركم تنطق فالضمير الأبكم شيطان أخرس!!”
― مجهول
