We are the founders of the science of rhetoric; it is the most honorable of all sciences and it is based on language. Hence, if we do not study language, we will not be able to express ourselves.

Hemida: Many people reached the talent of Ahmed Zaki, and when Nour El-Sherif died, I was asked whether we have any talents similar to Nour El-Sherif, and I said thousands, and also Umm Kulthum, but we are not observant nor alert to talents.
