And forevermore it will remind us of the Egyptian people - of what they did, of the things that they stood for, and how they changed their country, and in doing so changed the world. (Barack Obama)

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
