“I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.”

“أيها القلب! لماذا أنت أسير لهذا الهيكل الترابي الزائل؟
ألا فلتنطلق خارج تلك الحظيرة، فإنك طائر من عالم الروح.
إنك رفيق خلوة الدلال، والمقيم وراء ستر الأسرار
فكيف تجعل مقامك في هذا القرار الفاني؟
انظر إلى حالك واخرج منها وارتحل
من حبس عالم الصورة إلى مروج عالم المعاني
إنك طائر العالم القدسي، نديم المجلس الأنسي
فمن الحيف أن تظل باقياً في هذا المقام ~”
― جلال الدين الرومي

“We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.

I wish for all this to be marked on by body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography - to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient
