“the train plunges on through the pitch-black night
I never knew I liked the night pitch-black
sparks fly from the engine
I didn't know I loved sparks
I didn't know I loved so many things and I had to wait until sixty to find it out sitting by the window on the Prague-Berlin train watching the world disappear as if on a journey of no return”
― Nazim Hikmet

“moonlight the falsest the most languid the most petit-bourgeois
strikes me
I like it”
― Nazim Hikmet

“A pretty sight, a lady with a book.”
