Jean Cocteau
“J'exige un vrai bonheur, un vrai amour, une vraie contrée où le soleil alterne avec la lune, où les saisons se déroulent en ordre, où de vrais arbres portent de vrais fruits, où de vrais poissons habitent les rivières, et de vrais oiseaux le ciel, où la vrai neige découvre de vraies fleurs, où tout sort est vrai, vrai, véritable. J’en ai assez de cette lumière morne, de ces campagnes stériles, sans jour, sans nuit, où ne survivent que les bêtes féroces et rapaces, où les lois de la nature ne fonctionnent pas.”
Jean Cocteau

Olga Tokarczuk
“There are some people at whom one only has to glance for one’s throat to tighten and one’s eyes to fill with tears of emotion. These people make one feel as if a stronger memory of our former innocence remains in them, as if they were a freak of nature, not entirely battered by the Fall. Perhaps they are messengers, like the servants who find a lost prince who’s unaware of his origins, show him the robe that he wore in his native country, and remind him how to return home.”
Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Frantz Fanon
“Everything can be explained to the people, on the single condition that you really want them to understand.”
Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

Albert Camus
“The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.”
Albert Camus

Sappho
“In fact she herself once blamed me
Kyprogeneia

because I prayed
this word:
I want.”
Sappho, If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho
