ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ... " ـ

توفيق الحكيم

Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.

Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

Crazy!, Obsessed . yes I am.

Oh my GOD, I AM, became, obsessed with him, the actor, the writer, and most of all the human being that was Dirk Bogarde.
I need to make a label here for him, Because my posts about him are increasing in a way I didn't expect myself ! and I'm labeling the older posts too. These posts about him seem to be continuing for some more time, I'm still digging and discovering and every thing I find makes me want more, and probably makes me want to write more even if I didn't actually write, for what ever reason.
I even can't work with concentration, I sneak into the web browser and search for the books by him or about him and read what I can. Unfortunately I can't find these books in hard copies and so I have to search for soft copies online. Which is also hard to find easily.
I've been thinking  while I'm searching and reading and watching and listening, why do I do this in this fierce rate?. I have a reason or two that I'll keep to my self, But I think one of the important reasons is that I like mystery and so I try to solve, or imagine to have solved, what is to me is identified as a puzzle, This man.
Second, what he says; most of it is again, as I said before, resonating inside my head and inside my heart in a way that frightened me once or twice :(. I think that's why I' am always feeling the urge to cry when thinking of a something he wrote or said.

I've found these pages about him because I'm searching the web in every possible way for any new line that can shed a light on this super man, even in his faults he was super!.Any way this page contains some quotes from one of his books That I need badly to read, Snakes and Ladders .

Thoughts about and by Bogarde

The Bogarde Mystique

The one that I need to copy and put in here is this one :)

"Isolation, even from choice as in my case, incubates self-centredness like a culture...Living in a tower, however secure it may feel, is hardly a social attribute...It was said of me recently that I suffered from an Obsessional Privacy. I can only suppose it must be true." (from A Postillion Struck by Lightening by Dirk Bogarde).

There are very few people that If it was possible I would have loved to be near them in their life at any era since dawn of history, two of them are Egyptian men lived the peak of their lives in the first half of 20th century, the third man ever that I wished to live near is Dirk.
