"Purity"
(Repeated in German)

Naguib Mahfouz: "It's the nobility of the heart which allows us to best understand the universe."

"The Law"
(Repeated in German)

Naguib Mahfouz: "The Law is one. Whether it is religious or secular, it is the foundation of order and justice in society."

"The Past, The Present, The Future"
(Repeated in German)

Naguib Mahfouz: "The present, this is what we must endure. The future is what we hope for. And the past is what we cherish, good or bad..."

I know this is strange... This is from the French translation of the Arabic. But still, it's amazing to hear this man speak. He is a Pulitzer Prize winning author that has brought a lot of fame and glory to Egypt with his novels. He passed away a few years ago, so I thought this was an interesting find.
