“ولقد يكون في الدنيا ما يُغني الواحد من الناس عن أهل الأرض كافّة.. ولكن الدنيا بما وسعت لا يمكن أبدا أن تغني محبا عن الواحد الذي يحبه! هذا الواحد له حساب عجيب غير حساب العقل.. فإن الواحد في الحساب العقلي أول العدد.. أما في الحساب القلبي فهو أول العدد وآخره .. ليس بعده آخـِـر إذ ليس معه آخـَر”
― مصطفى صادق الرافعي, أوراق الورد

“لو سألتم عن الحب أهو موجود وكيف نعثر عليه لقلت،
نعم موجود، ولكنه نادر, وهو ثمرة توفيق إلهي وليس ثمرة اجتهاد شخصي
وشرط حدوثه أن تكون النفوس خيرة أصلا جميلة أصلا،
والجمال النفسي والخير هما المشكاة التي يخرج منها هذا الحب.. ”
― د.مصطفى محمود

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
― George Orwell, 1984
