Elia Berkovitch

“That noise you are hearing, drowning out

― Tom Hillman, Digging for God

“إن الحاكم الفرد (الطاغية) هو أسوأ ما تحظى به المدينة، ففي ظل حكمه لن توجد قوانين تحكم الجميع. ولكنه سوف يسخر القوانين لصالحه بحيث لا تفيد سواه، وهكذا تختفي المساواة. ولكن حينما يكون هناك دستور وقوانين مكتوبة فإن الفقير والغني سوف يتمتعان بالعدالة، ويكون منحق الفقير استخدام نفس اللغة التي يستخدمها الغني، وإذا ما أهانه الغني فإنه ينتصر عليه إذا كان الحق يقف إلى جانبه.”
― Euripides, Suppliant Women

“Charlie said your friend’s disappeared,” chirped Wendy.
“No, he hasn’t.” Adam denied it. “He’s in the house. Now, look, what’s all this you’ve been telling them?”

“He said you’ve turned your friend into a crayfish,” insisted Wendy.
“He’s always making little jokes like that, and you fell for it. How am I supposed to do that, for heaven’s sake?” Adam was angry.
“With your little book you found. What’s that under your arm?”

“[...] aquilo que faz parte do âmbito pessoal é também um ato político, [...] o diálogo pode ser uma forma de resistência.”
