Edward W. Said
“Much as I have no wish to hurt anyone's feelings, my first obligation has not been to be nice but to be true to my perhaps peculiar memories, experiences and feelings.”
Edward W. Said, Out of Place

André Aciman
“None of us may want to claim to live life in two parallel lanes but all have many lives, one tucked beneath or right alongside the other. Some lives wait their turn because they haven't been lived at all, while others die before they've lived out their time, and some are waiting to be relived because they haven't been lived enough.”
André Aciman, Find Me
tags: life, time

Eugen Herrigel
“Put the thought of hitting right out of your mind! You can be a Master even if every shot does not hit. The hits on the target is only an outward proof and confirmation of your purposelessness at its highest, of your egolessness, your self-abandonment, or whatever you like to call this state. There are different grades of mastery, and only when you have made the last grade will you be sure of not missing the goal.”
Eugen Herrigel, Zen in the Art of Archery

José Saramago
“when expressing their opinions, the political parties prefer not to take too many risks, in the spirit of trying to please everyone all the time, they say yes, but then again no.”
José Saramago, Seeing

André Aciman
“Aren't those the absolute worst scenarios: the things that might have happened but never did and might still happen though we've given up hoping they could.”
André Aciman, Find Me
