My great homeland, we protect you in every deputy, and defend you in every war, you are our haven and our place of safety | Sometimes we fight who we are, struggling against ourselves and our natures |

There is no excuse for anyone to write fiction for public consumption unless he has been called to do so by the presence of a gift | It is the nature of fiction not to be good for much unless it is good in itself |
A person does not know a cause for which he dies more noble than the cause and defense of the homeland | We are told that talent creates its own opportunities |

We must love ourselves for what and who we are, and believe in our talents | But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities but its own talents |
The homeland is a cause we strive for, and we live with the hope of achieving our principles.
