“أنام وفي العين ثقب كبير
فأوهم نفسي بأني أنام
وأصحو وفي القلب خوف عميق
فأمضغ في الصمت بعض الكلام
أقول لنفسي كلاماً كثيراً
وأسمع نفسي..
وألمح في الليل شيئاً مخيفاً
يطوف برأسي
ويخنق صوتي..
ويسقط في الصمت كل الكلام”
― شيء سيبقى بيننا

“And he cries and cries, cries for everything he has been, for everything he might have been, for every old hurt, for every old happiness, cries for the shame and joy of finally getting to be a child, with all of a child's whims and wants and insecurities, for the privilege of behaving badly and being forgiven, for the luxury of tenderness, of fondness, of being served a meal and being made to eat it, for the ability, at last, at last, of believing a parent's reassurances, of believing that to someone he is special despite all his mistakes and hatefulness, because of all his mistakes and hatefulness.”

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
