“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

“Perhaps many things inside you have been transformed; perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad. The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise; like diseases that are treated superficially and foolishly, they just withdraw and after a short interval break out again all the more terribly; and gather inside us and are life, are life that is unlived, rejected, lost, life that we can die of.”

“One sip of this wine
and you will go mad with drunkenness.
You will drop your masks
and tear your clothes — destroying
everything that separates you from the Lover.
Once you taste the fruit of this vine,
you will be kicked out of the city of yourself.
You will forget the world. You will forget yourself.
I tell you:
you will become a madman
who wanders the streets looking for the Lover
once you drink this Wine of Love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“The desert could not be claimed or owned–it was a piece of cloth carried by winds, never held down by stones, and given a hundred shifting names... Its caravans, those strange rambling feasts and cultures, left nothing behind, not an ember. All of us, even those with European homes and children in the distance, wished to remove the clothing of our countries. It was a place of faith. We disappeared into landscape.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“When she does not find love, she may find poetry. Because she does not act, she observes, she feels, she records; a color, a smile awakens profound echoes within her; her destiny is outside her, scattered in cities already built, on the faces of men already marked by life, she makes contact, she relishes with passion and yet in a manner more detached, more free, than that of a young man. Being poorly integrated in the universe of humanity and hardly able to adapt herself therein, she, like the child, is able to see it objectively; instead of being interested solely in her grasp on things, she looks for their significance; she catches their special outlines, their unexpected metamorphoses. She rarely feels a bold creativeness, and usually she lacks the technique of self-expression; but in her conversation, her letters, her literary essays, her sketches, she manifests an original sensitivity. The young girl throws herself into things with ardor, because she is not yet deprived of her transcendence; and the fact that she accomplishes nothing, that she is nothing, will make her impulses only the more passionate. Empty and unlimited, she seeks from within her nothingness to attain All.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“أتمنى لكِ اليأس يا حبيبتي؛ لكي تصيرين مبدعة. اليائسون هم المبدعون، لا تنتظريني ولا تنتظري أحدًا. انتظري الفكرة، لا تنتظري المفكّر. انتظري القصيدة، ولا تنتظري الشاعر. انتظري الثورة، ولا تنتظري الثائر. المفكّر يخطئ، والشاعر يكذب، والثائر يتعب.”
― محمود درويش, يوميات الحزن العادي

“في العزلة كفاءةُ المُؤْتَمَن على نفسه –
يكتب العبارة , وينظر إلى السقف. ثم
يضيف : أن تكون وحيداً.... أن تكون قادراً
على أن تكون وحيداً هو تربية ذاتيَّة .
ألعزلة هي انتقاء نوع الأَلم , والتدرّب
على تصريف أفعال القلب بحريّة العصاميّ ... أَو
ما يشبه خلوَّك من خارجك وهبوطك الاضطراري
في نفسك بلا مظلَّة نجاة . تجلس ,
وحدك ة كفكرة خالية من حجة البرهان ,
دون أن تحدس بما يدور من حوار بينا
الظاهر والباطن . العزلة مصفاة لا مرآة
ترمي ما في يدك اليسرى إلى يدك اليمنى ,
ولا يتغيَّر شيء في حركة الانتقال من
اللا فكرة إلى اللا معنى . لكن هذا العَبَثَ
البريء لا يؤذي ولا يجدي : وماذا
لو كنتُ وحدي ؟ العزلة هي اختيار
المُتْرَف بالممكنات ... هي اختيار الحرّ .
فحين تجفّ , بك نفسُك , تقول :
لو كنتُ غيري لانصرفتُ عن الورقة البيضاء إلى
محاكاة رواية يابانية ,
يصعد كاتبها إلى قمة الجبل ليرى ما
فعلت الكواسر والجوارح بأجداده الموتى .
لعلِّه ما زال يكتب , وما زال موتاه يموتون
لكن تنقصني الخبرة . والقسوة الميتافيزيقية
تنقصني . وتقول : لو كنتُ غيري”
― محمود درويش, أثر الفراشة
