“My divorce has changed my life. I donâ€™t cry anymore. My bad dreams are starting to go away. I feel stronger, as if all these ordeals have toughened me. When I go out in the street, sometimes women in the neighborhood call to me, congratulating me and shouting â€˜Mabrouk!â€™ â€“ a word once tainted by evil memories, but which I know like to hear again. And shouted by women I donâ€™t even know! I blush, but deep down Iâ€™m so proud.”

“Once a new social stage appears in a culture, it will spread its instructional codes and life-priority messages throughout that culture's surface-level expressions: religion, economic and political arrangements, psychological and anthro-pological theories, and views of human nature, our future destiny, globalization, and even architectural patterns and sports preferences. We all live in flow states; there is always new wine, always old wineskins. We, indeed, find ourselves pursuing a neverending quest.”
