no man needs nothing

The most beautiful island is the one not yet found

By modern Western definition a desert is all about the lack of things, of dryness and sparseness, a wasteland devoid of life. But start to live it and you realise that it is really not the desert itself that is the hero – it is merely blank canvas. The real story is in the lives it hosts, and the very fact they exist at all makes them so precious. As Prince Feisal tells Lawrence of Arabia in the epic movie, “No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees, there is nothing in the desert. No man needs nothing.”
