John Berger
“A drawing of a tree shows not a tree, but a tree being looked at. From each glance, a drawing assembles a little evidence. But it consists of many glances, seen together.

If one accepts the metaphor of time as a flow, a river, then the act of drawing—by driving upstream—achieves the stationary. A photograph is static because it has stopped time. A drawing is static because it encompasses time.”
John Berger

“عجیب است و مضحک که من این‌قدر وراجی می‌کنم. وای، نمی‌دانید که از این حال چقدر بیزارم. نمی‌دانید اگر می‌توانستم با چه لذتی همه چیز و همه کس را می‌گذاشتم و پی کار خود می‌رفتم. ولی چطور می‌توانم از پولینا دور شوم؟ چطور می‌توانم چهارچشمی مراقبش نباشم؟ البته جاسوسی کردن رذالت است، ولی کار من از این حرف‌ها گذشته است.”
داستایفسکی

William Shakespeare
“The quality of mercy is not strain'd.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute to God Himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice.”
William Shakespeare

Rainer Maria Rilke
“But only someone who is ready for anything and rules nothing out, not even the most enigmatic things, will experience the relationship with another as a living thing and will himself live his own existence to the full.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Beauty of whatever kind in its supreme development invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. Melancholy is thus the most legitimate of all the poetical tones. [...] I asked myself—“Of all melancholy topics what, according to the universal understanding of mankind, is the most melancholy?” Death, was the obvious reply. “And when,” I said, “is this most melancholy of topics most poetical?” From what I have already explained at some length the answer here also is obvious—“When it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death then of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover.”
Edgar Allen Poe
