Orhan Pamuk
“دوست داشتم از تو دروغی بشنوم
زیرا انسان تنها زمانی دروغ میگوید
که ترس از دست دادن چیزی او را آشفته کند”
Orhan Pamuk

“It makes me wonder how many other little things like that have simply disappeared from my mind, how many other little memories like that have simply vanished. - Rhinebeck; The Disappeared”
Andrew Porter

Eugène Ionesco
“Ever since I was fifteen, that is to say from that moment when I lost all that was left me of my childhood, from the moment when I ceased to be aware of the present and knew only the past hurrying into the future, that is to say into the abyss, ever since I became fully conscious of time I have felt old and I have wanted to live. I have run after life as though to catch time, and I have tried to live. I have run after life so much that it has always escaped me, I have run, I have never been late and never too early, and yet I have never caught up with it: it is as though I have run alongside of it.

What is life, I may be asked. For me, life is not Time; it is not this state of existence, for ever escaping us, slipping between our fingers and vanishing like a ghost as soon as you try to grasp it. For me it is, it must be, the present, presentness, plenitude. I have run after life so much that I have lost it.”
Eugène Ionesco, Fragments of a Journal

Eugène Ionesco
“I ought not to have stirred, I was swept into the dance, caught up in the whirling movement of things. Being in Time means running after the present. You run after things, you run with things, you flow away.”
Eugène Ionesco, Fragments of a Journal

Tim O'Brien
“They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere, they carried it, the humidity, the monsoons, the stink of fungus and decay, all of it, they carried gravity.”
Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
