“أنا أقل مما تظن
الفراغات تملؤني بالطول و العرض
أنا رقعة شطرنج.”

“I can never say what I want to say," continued Naoko. "It's been like this for a while now. I try to say something, but all I get are the wrong words - the wrong words or the exact opposite words from what I mean. I try to correct myself, and that only makes it worse. I lose track of what I was trying to say to begin with. It's like I'm split in two and playing tag with myself . One half is chasing the other half around this big, fat post. The other me has the right words, but this me can't catch her.”
― Haruki Murakami

“نعم لقد كتبت هكذا دائما،‬
‫كلما ضاقت الزنزانة اتسعت القصيدة”

“ماذا يعرف عني؟
‫لا شئ إلا روحي.‬‫
هل تكفي؟
و هل يكون الحب كافياً قط؟”
