Quote of the Day

"I can't understand why a person will take a year to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars." --Fred Allen (1894 - 1956).


[UPDATE (July 12,2006)] the quote was just base idea, u r not forced to do some thing from scratch always while u can get it by less cost, time, effort ...etc which will cover all ur needs .
i.e: why copy a book by ur hand -which took a lot of time and efforts- while u can buy it from any shop. ( no, its not a reactionary thinking IMHO. )

  • لا داعي لأن يفهم!!
    لأن من يكتب ينفق عمراً في تدوين فكرة.. علَّها تحرِّك جيلاً قادماً أو مشاعر ساكنة أو تغيّر خارطةً ما !!
    بينما مَن يشتري, صحيح أنه لا ينفق كثيراً من الوقت لكنه لا يحس بنشوة الانتصار ولو على قلمه!!
    الكتابة إلحاح وحاجة كأنما هي حليب رضاع لا فطام عنه.. بينما القراءة الوقتية .. وعي لا يدركه الآن الكثيرون!!!

    تحيتي المشحونة بكلمات كثيرة أفضِّل أن أقولها لكَ شفهيّاً لا كتابةً ولا قراءة.. ربما ذلك أسرع!


    So...I can not understand why a man will take a year to write a novel, a few time to buy an expressive book, when he can easily say what he want to others in a momment!
