“I Became a free woman when I decided to stop dreaming, freedom that is waiting for nothing .. and anticipation is a state of slavery" - Ahlam (Chaos of the Senses)”

“Love After Love
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.”
― Collected Poems, 1948-1984

“სწორედ იმის არცოდნა, რომ გარდაცვალება უმაღლესი მოსვენებაა, ახალგაზრდები მტკივნეულად განიცდიან დანაკარგს, ვიდრე მოხუცები. მოხუცთათვის უფრო ახლოა დასასრული და ეს მათი ხსნაა. ჩვენ არ ვართ ბრმა სულები, ძვირფასო მამაო, ჩვენ უბრალოდ, მხოლოდ ადამიანები ვართ. ვცხოვრობთ ცვალებად რეალობაში და ვცდილობთ მოვერგოთ მას, ვირწევით როგორც წყალმცენარეები ზღვის მიმოქცევაში. ეს თქვენ, წმიდა ეკლესიას გაქვთ უკვდავება, ჩვენ კი, სოციალური კლასი, მოკვდავები ვართ. ჩვენთვის ასი წელიც მარადისობაა. ჩვენ შეგვიძლია ვიფიქროთ მხოლოდ ჩვენ შვილებზე, შვილიშვილებზე, იშვიათად, გამონაკლის შემთხვევაში - შვილთაშვილებზე, მაგრამ მათ მიმართ, ვისაც ჩვენ ვერ მივეფერებით, აი ამ ხელებით, ჩვენი ვალდებულებები წყდება. საოცარია, რომ სრულიად არ გვაინტერესებს, თუ რა გადახდებათ ჩვენს შთამომავლებს რომელიღაც 2060 წელს.”

“Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on.
I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.”

“Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...”
