Danh ngôn của Naguib Mahfouz (Sứ mệnh: 9)

God did not intend religion to be an exercise club.
I love Sufism as I love beautiful poetry, but it is not the answer. Sufism is like a mirage in the desert. It says to you, come and sit, relax and enjoy yourself for a while.
I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write, I prefer to write in the morning until midday, and in the afternoon, I eat.
I was a government employee in the morning and a writer in the evening.
If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.
There are no heroes in most of my stories. I look at our society with a critical eye and find nothing extraordinary in the people I see.
Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization.
