Quotes by Theodor Kallifatides (?)

“Att lämna sitt språk är som lämna sin själ”
― Theodor Kallifatides

“اسْمَعني يا صديقي، قد تكون كاتباً وفيلسوفاً، لكنَّك لم تفهم مغزى أسطورة سيزيف، إنّ زيوس لم يكن يعاقب سيزيف، بل على العكس تماماً، كان يشفق عليه، إنّ الإنسان لا شيء دون عمله "

ما سمعت بهذا التفسير من قبل قط. يتعلّم المرء الكثير في بلد أجنبي. لقد كان محقاً. أما الآن وبعد أن غادرت الاستوديو، كان ذلك واضحاً.

قال بحزم: " إنّ الإنسان من دون عمله يحق عليه قول يــاحــرام " … مستخدماً الكلمة التركيّة التي اعتمدتها اللغة اليونانيّة..

الحياة من دون عمل هي هباء منثور… كان هذا هو الاستنتاج الرهيب الذي توصّل إليه.

بدا الأمر وكأنه مبالغة، ومع ذلك فإن الأمر ذاته ينطبق عليّ، كنت أعمل بشكل أفضل في الاستوديو، وكانت الأيام ملأى بالمعنى...”

“My maternal grandmother was not a philosopher, and she used to say that “words have no bones, but they can break bones.” She knew what we all know: a word can cause more pain, more damage than the sharpest knife. As far as she was concerned, saying something and doing something were exactly the same.”
