I believe that international doors have opened, and that from now on, literate people will consider Arab literature also. We deserve that recognition  (Naguib Mahfouz Quotes) It’s clearly more important to treat one’s fellow man well than to be always praying and fasting and touching one’s head to a prayer mat.  (Naguib Mahfouz Quotes) I defend both the freedom of expression and society’s right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things.  (Naguib Mahfouz Quotes) The Nobel Prize has given me, for the first time in my life, the feeling that my literature could be appreciated on an international level.  (Naguib Mahfouz Quotes) I’ve never worked in politics, never been a member of an official committee or a political party.  (Naguib Mahfouz Quotes) I reject any path which rejects life, but I can’t help loving Sufism because it sounds so beautiful.
