Aziz Odilon

“Nobody will enter into your hopes: dreams, desires, projects are weak and solitary abstractions that nobody will formulate with us. In his aspirations toward the future or beyond it, man is unhappy because he is alone, all that he sees, all that he is, makes him suffer, except for what he loves. If I ahd a son to direct, I would tell him: 'Leave, go alone in the midst of men since you must become one of them. The individual soars only in liberty.”
― Odilon Redon, To Myself: Notes on Life, Art and Artists

“If only you do not try to utter what is unutterable then nothing gets lost. But the unutterable will be—unutterably—contained in what has been uttered”
― Wittgenstein Ludwig

“After all, in the final analysis, man is a cause.”
― Ghassan Kanafani, Palestine's Children: Returning to Haifa and Other Stories

“I venerate with emotion everything that comes from the heart when it is simple, silent and confident. It is a sensual pleasure, subtle and touching, to try to reach characters through the varied outer appearances of human conditions.”
― Odilon Redon, To Myself: Notes on Life, Art and Artists
