“She leans forward.
Tightens her grip on the pencil.
Lowers her head further.
The words evade her grasp.
Words that have lost lips,
words that have lost tongue and tooth-root,
words that have lost throat and breath remain out of reach.
Like unbodied apparitions, their forms elude touch.”

“Loving a human is largely mental and abstract. Not so with cats. I am always restored to myself when my arms are encircling their rounded backs or I'm burying my face in their fur, all of me in touch with whatever animates us alone, together.”

“The Europeans are inclined to regard their own present culture as the only highly developed one and the best. They tend to believe that other peoples, if they are to make progress in their development, must become just like themselves. I regard this as a petty conceit. The primordial form of historical culture is, in my view, richer.”

“Words grow a little more distant from the body.
Emotions that had saturated them,
like heavy layers of shadow,
like stench and nausea,
like something viscous, fall away.
Like titles that, long under water, have lost their adhesiveness.
Like a part of one's flesh that has rotted wihtout one's knowing.”
