"Some people impress one instantly. Others are only appreciated with time and prolonged exposure. Like a vintage cheese, perhaps. And, in the long haul, it is often the acquired tastes that one comes most to savour—" Sep 30, 2025 02:01AM

Kazuo Ishiguro
“All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

Stephen        King
“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...”
Stephen King

Scott Lynch
“I cut off his fingers to get him to talk, and when he'd confessed everything I wanted to hear, I had his fucking tongue cut out, and the stump cauterized."

Everyone in the room stared at him.

"I called him an asshole, too," said Locke. "He didn't like that.”
Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora

رجاء عليش

القبح يستفز مشاعر الآخرين العنيفة.. كل حاستهم النقدية الساخرة، فيوجهونها بضراوة عنيفة ناحية الإنسان القبيح قاصدين إهانته وتحطيم معنوياته.

إنهم يقفون مدهوشين أمام ظاهرة غريبة لا يفهمونها.. ظاهرة تستفز كل مشاعر الكراهية فى داخلهم.. كل الثمار المُرة المأساوية التى يصبح القبيح ضحية لها فى نهاية الأمر.

لكن إذا قلنا أن القبح هو إحدى العاهات التى تدمر حياة إنسان قبيح فالغريب أن الإنسان القبيح لا يحس بأى عجز جسمانى يمنعه من الإستمتاع الكامل بالحياة كالآخرين.. إنه فقط يحس بحاجز شفاف وغير مرئي يحول بينه وبين الإندماج فى الحياة.. حاجز من صُنع الأخرين الذين يضمرون له كل الكراهية والشر لمجرد أنه إنسان مختلف قبيح.


لا تولد قبيحًا”

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
