“Experience has proven that the best-educated people are often those who are known as ‘self-made’ or self-educated. It takes more than a university degree to make one a person of education. Any person who is educated has learned to get whatever they want in life without violating the rights of others.

This, to the Arabs, was a miracle. To them the gift of words was the greatest gift, the poet was all-powerful.
