“If you are looking for me
I am beyond nowhere [ … ]
Beyond nowhere there is a place desire opens
like an umbrella,
breeze like thirst sinks deep into the leaves.
Bells of rain carol fresh watery tunes
about how lonely humans are here
where the shadows of tree trunks stream into
endlessness.
If you are looking for me,
come soft and quietly, lest you crack the glass
heart
that cups my loneliness.”
― The Oasis of Now: Selected Poems

“The friend is not another I, but an otherness immanent in selfness, a becoming other of the self. At the point at which I perceive my existence as pleasant, my perception is traversed by a concurrent perception that dislocates it and deports it towards the friend, towards the other self. Friendship is this desubjectivization at the very heart of the most intimate perception of self.”

“İçmek de bir tür anlatmaktı ona göre. Yudumunu alır, daha o an gözleri dalar, içtiği nesne üzerine kimse bu kadar uzun düşünemez.
Ve gençliğimde, kadınıyla, erkeğiyle herkesin bana tutkun olduğu o yıllarda, dedi, gelip buraya girdim, saplandım. Beni kurtarmak istediklerini sananlar oldu, kurtulmamak üzere geldiler, kurtulmamak üzere gittiler. Ve dünyanın bu çekici deliğinde, sanki yıllar sonra yeniden tutacağım şu ellerini sürekli yakaladım. Bırakırsam batarım sanma, ellerini tuta tuta nasıl battığımı seyret. En eski din de, en eski oyun da budur''.”

“I'm so fucking tired of black women always being described by their skin tones! Honey-colored this! Dark-chocolate that! My paternal grandmother was mocha-tinged, café-au-lait, graham-fucking-cracker brown! How come they never describe the white characters in relation to foodstuffs and hot liquids? Why aren't there any yogurt-colored, egg-shell-toned, string-cheese-skinned, low-fat-milk white protagonists in these racist, no-third-act-having books? That's why black literature sucks!”
