Olivia Laing
“There is a gentrification that is happening to cities, and there is a gentrification that is happening to the emotions too, with a similarly homogenising, whitening, deadening effect. Amidst the glossiness of late capitalism, we are fed the notion that all difficult feeling - depression, anxiety, loneliness, rage - are simply a consequence of unsettled chemistry, a problem to be fixed, rather than a response to structural injustice or, on the other hand, to the native texture of embodiment, of doing time, as David Wojnarowicz memorably put it, in a rented body, with all the attendant grief and frustration that entails.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone

Stephen Fry
“It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.”
Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot

الحلاج
“لبّيكَ لبّيكَ يا سرّي و نجوائـــي لبّيك لبّيك يا قصدي و معنائـي
أدعوك بلْ أنت تدعوني إليك فهـلْ ناديتُ إيّاك أم ناجيتَ إيّائـــي
يا عين عين وجودي يا مدى هممي يا منطقي و عباراتي و إيمائـي
يا كلّ كلّي يا سمعي و يا بصري يا جملتي و تباعيضي و أجزائي
يا كلّ كـلّي و كلّ الكـلّ ملتبس و كل كـلّك ملبوس بمعنائــي
يا من به عُلقَتْ روحي فقد تلفت وجدا فصرتَ رهينا تحت أهوائي
أبكي على شجني من فرقتي وطني طوعاً و يسعدني بالنوح أعدائـي
أدنو فيبعدني خوف فيقلقنــي شوق تمكّن في مكنون أحشائـي
فكيف أصنع في حبّ كَلِفْتُ به مولاي قد ملّ من سقمي أطبّائـي
قالوا تداوَ به منه فقلت لهـم يا قوم هل يتداوى الداء بالدائـي
حبّي لمولاي أضناني و أسقمني فكيف أشكو إلى مولاي مولائـي
اّني لأرمقه و القلب يعرفـه فما يترجم عنه غير ايمائـــي
يا ويحَ روحي من روحي فوا أسفي عليَّ منّي فإنّي اصل بلوائـــي
كانّني غَرق تبدو أناملــه تَغوثُّاً و هو في بحر من المـاء
وليس يَعْلَم ما لاقيت من احدٍ إلا الذي حلَّ منّي في سويدائـي
ذاك العليم بما لاقيت من دنفٍ و في مشيئِتِه موتي و إحيائــي
يا غاية السؤل و المأمول يا سكني يا عيش روحي يا ديني و دنيائي
قُلْ لي فَدَيْتُكَ يا سمعي و يا بصري لِمْ ذا اللجاجة في بُعدي و إقصائي
إِن كنتَ بالغيب عن عينيَّ مُحْتَجِباً فالقلب يرعاك في الأبعاد و النائي”
الحلاج

Haruki Murakami
“The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Pablo Neruda
“The morning is full of storm
in the heart of summer.

The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of goodbye,
the wind, travelling, waving them in its hands.

The numberless heart of the wind
beating above our loving silence.

Orchestral and divine, resounding among the trees
like a language full of wars and songs.”
Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair
