Susan Sontag
“The shock of photographed atrocities wears off with repeated viewings, just as the surprise and bemusement felt the first time one sees a pornographic movie wear off after one sees a few more.”
Susan Sontag

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Susan Sontag
“I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.”
Susan Sontag

José Eduardo Agualusa
“God weighs souls on a pair of scales. In one of the dishes is the soul, and in the other, the tears of those who weep for it. If nobody cries, the soul goes straight down to hell. If there are enough tears and they are sufficiently heartfelt, it rises up to heaven.”
José Eduardo Agualusa, A General Theory of Oblivion

Bohumil Hrabal
“I can be by myself because I'm never lonely; I'm simply alone, living in my heavily populated solitude, a harum-scarum of infinity and eternity, and Infinity and Eternity seem to take a liking to the likes of me.”
Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud a Solitude
