Tim O'Brien
“And in the end, of course, a true war story is never about war. It's about sunlight. It's about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when you know you must cross the river and march into the mountains and do things you are afraid to do. It's about love and memory. It's about sorrow. It's about sisters who never write back and people who never listen.”
Tim O'Brien

Rollo May
“Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.”
Rollo May

Albert Camus
“There is not love of life without despair about life.”
Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Louise Glück
“Intense love always leads to mourning.”
Louise Gluck, The Triumph of Achilles

Hassan Blasim
“He sent you a text message that read: FIre Sign - You're compatible with all signs. Your blood group breathes disappointment and happiness. You stick your tongue in the woman's mouth in order to cool down. The fog that burns on the ceiling is the steam of sweat. You buy pins and colored pictures from the shop. You pin them on your flesh when you receive a guest. The firewood comes to you throughout the night, wrapped in nightmares. When you wake up you have a bath on fire. You eat on fire. You read the newspapers on fire. You smoke a cigarette on fire. In the coffee cup you come across prophecies of fire. You laugh on fire. You have your lungs checked at the hospital, and they find a spring of errors that looks like a tumor. You dream of the final act: It goes out.”
Hassan Blasim Jonathan Wright, The Corpse Exhibition and Other Stories of Iraq
