Ce apreciez cel mai mult...

... la oameni: sinceritatea şi promisiunile respectate. Sunt foarte exigentă în aceste aspecte. Hai să le numim probe eliminatorii sau probe de foc. Şi ador consecvenţa.

"Cladirea semana mai curand cu un castel medieval si a fost intemeiata in secolul al VI-lea, iar curand dupa aceea, cand armatele musulmane au inaintat spre vest din Peninsula Arabica, cineva a avut prevederea sa construiasca o mica moschee in curtea ei, ca sa o fereasca de incendiere sau demolare. In timpul cruciadelor a venit randul manastirii sa apere moscheea si asa a strabatut veacurile, fiecare Casa a Domnului luand-o sub aripa sa ocrotitoare pe cealalta in vreme ce armatele dusmane veneau si plecau". (Ahdaf Soueif despre o manastire din Egipt) / "The building [the monastery] was looking more like a medieval castle and it was established in the 6th century, and soon after that, when the Muslim army was on the offensive in the West coming from Arab Peninsula, somebody was very inspired and built a small mosque in its backyard, to protect the monastery from fires or demolition. During the crusades, it was the right time for the monastery to protect the mosque and in this way the building survived, each House of God protecting the other one, meanwhile the enemies were coming and going" (Ahdaf Soueif about a monastery from Egypt)
