"The very fact that there are expectations for a poem of mine disturbs me, but I don’t surrender to it. They say that every love poem of mine is about the land. That 'Rita' in Eleven Planets is Palestine. 'Rita' is an erotic poem, but no one believes me." -#MahmoudDarwish

يقول الجامعيُّ: ولا أَنا لا شيءَ يعجبني. دَرَسْتُ الأركيولوجيا دون أَن أَجِدَ الهُوِيَّةَ في الحجارة. هل أنا حقاً أَنا؟
A university student says: Me neither. Nothing impresses me. I studied archeology without finding an identity in stones. Am I really me ?
