“Μα τί ωραίος γίνεται ο κόσμος, όταν τον φτιάχνεις μέσα σου, μονολόγησε ξανά και σκέφτηκε τους φίλους του στο Αλ - Σαλούμ. Πόσα λίγα πράγματα είχαν δει πέρα από τα μάτια τους. Πόσο φτωχοί είναι όσοι δεν συμμετέχουν στη διαμόρφωση των σχημάτων των αστεριών και στη σύνταξη των ατέλειωτων ψεμάτων!”
― Βλάσσης Τρεχλής, Ταξίδι στη Λευκή Θάλασσα

“The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.”
― Henry James

“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. The emotion derives from a double contact: on the one hand, a whole activity of discourse discreetly, indirectly focuses upon a single signified, which is "I desire you," and releases, nourishes, ramifies it to the point of explosion (language experiences orgasm upon touching itself); on the other hand, I enwrap the other in my words, I caress, brush against, talk up this contact, I extend myself to make the commentary to which I submit the relation endure. ”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
