“Every grain of experience is food for the greedy growing soul of the artist.”

“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.”

“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

“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!”

“Yasakları kabul ettik. İnsanoğlu için yasaklı hayvanlar da diyebiliriz. Mikroplar bile birer yasak değil mi? Aşklar yasaktır. Gün olur, sular, yemişler bile yasaktır. İnsanlar birbirine yasaktır.
Canım çekiyor diye öpemem seni güzel çocuk! Canım çekiyor diye giremem sana deniz, göğsüm zayıftır; doktor yasağı. Canım çekiyor diye içemem:körkütük oluncaya kadar, aklı boğuncaya kadar: karaciğer yasağı. Canım çekiyor diye bir vapura binip Haydarpaşa'ya, oradan tabana kuvvet Van'a kadar gidemem. Yollarda geberirim... Çarşıya inemem. Çarşıyı Allah kahretsin.”
