“And tonight our skin, our bones,
that have survived our fathers,
will meet, delicate in the hold,
fastened together in an intricate lock.
Then one of us will shout,
"My need is more desperate!" and
I will eat you slowly with kisses
even though the killer in you
has gotten out.”
― Love Poems

“أفهامُ الخلائقِ لاتتعلَّق بالحقيقة ، والحقيقة لاتتعلَّق بالخليقة . الخواطرُ علائقُ ، وعلائقُ الخلائقِ لاتصل إلى الحقائق . والإدراك إلى علم الحقيقة صعبٌ ، فكيف إلى حَقِّ الحقيقة؟”

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”
