“The Nobodies

Who are not, but could be.
Who don't speak languages, but dialects.
Who don't have religions, but superstitions.
Who don't create art, but handicrafts.
Who don't have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources.
Who do not have faces, but arms.
Who do not have names, but numbers.
Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police
blotter of the local paper.
The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.”
― Eduardo Galeano

“إن مضاجعة امرأة والنوم معها رغبتان ليستا مختلفتين فحسب بل متناقضتين أيضا. فالحب لا يتجلى بالرغبة فى ممارسة الجنس (وهذه الرغبة تنطبق على جملة لا تحصى من النساء)ولكن بالرغبة فى النوم المشترك(وهذه الرغبة لا تخص إلا امرأة واحدة”
― ميلان كونديرا, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Tonight I can write the saddest lines
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”
