“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.”
― Steve Jobs

“-عبير:"الفلسفة كما رأيتها هي فن إضاعة الحقيقة .. البحث عن الشمس بينما هي تضيء الأفق .. الفيلسوف هو شخص فشل في أن يفهم الحياة كما هي .. فشل أن يمارسها كما تمارسها قطة سعيدة راضية .. الإيمان بالله هبة ظفر بها البسطاء بينما حُرِم منها أكثر فلاسفتكم .. تعتقدون أن الطعام وُجد كي لا ناكله ، والشراب وجد كي لا نشربه ، والحب وُجد كي لا نعيشه .. هناك أشياء مهمة في الفلسفة بالطبع ، لكن هناك أشياء لا تطاق ولا يمكن احتمالها .. لو قارنت في ميزان البشرية بائع الفول الواقف على باب شارعنا بـ(نيتشه) لرجحت كفة بائع الفول على الفور .. إنه رجل سعيد مفيد لنفسه و الآخرين ..”
― أحمد خالد توفيق, فلاسفة في حسائي

“لكن دعني أخبرك بشيء مهم ,لا تقض حياتك بإنتظار أن تنتهي الفترة كذا و الفترة كذا ..
أن تنتهي فترة الدراسة .. أن تنتهي فترة التجنيد الإجباري .. أن تنتهي فترة انتدابك في كينيا .. إلخ
لسوف تجد أن حياتك صارت مجموعة من الفترات يجب أن تنتهي و هوب! تكتشف أنك بلغت نهاية العمر ولما تنعم بحياتك يوما واحدا ..
يجب أن تستمتع بكل فترة كأنها هي الصورة الوحيدة النهائية لحياتك ..”
― أحمد خالد توفيق
