HE SAID: Tawfiq al-Hakim





What I was utterly convinced of, and still am, is the idea that

the only responsibility the free intellectual has is vis-a-vis

himself. He is not responsible to either a political party or a

ruler.




There is always a state of anxiety, of searching and delving

for style.





In the past, traditional art was based on making manifest

what is enduring in man, like love, jealousy, hatred, envy,

and greed... . Today art has to look again at these

unchanging qualities, because society is no longer

unchanging. It is up to art today to show us what has

become of these unchanging qualities in a world which is

moving and changing.




“Ahhh! The Sky, Heaven and Hell..Those three words were

known in the East..Once you take them out of our earthly

world, the whole world will fall apart..all the masterpieces we

have made would sound and look platitude.


I know the West now is an object of admiration for its science

and discoveries but what does it worth judging by the

greatest discoveries that were found in the east?!

Verily the West is exploring the Earth and the East is
 
exploring the Sky.
