Sweet Jane

“And I sit here alone and far from you and it’s night and I’m reflecting on everything all around me and I am thinking of you. I saw it in your eyes, in your love, you too are swinging towards the depths of your own being in longer and longer circles. I saw happiness and pain in your eyes and reflections of the paradises lost and regained and lost again, that terrible loneliness and happiness, yes, and I reflect upon this and I think about you.
(from As I Was Moving Ahead I Occasionally Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, 2000)”
― Jonas Mekas

“I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“No night is long enough for us to dream twice.”
― Mahmoud Darwish, Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems

“Ήταν πιο δύσκολο να είσαι η ωραιότερη στην Κυψέλη παρά η ωραιότερη στον κόσμο. Στην Κυψέλη σε έβλεπαν κάθε μέρα στο δρόμο, δεν σε ψήφιζαν βαμμένη, με μουσική από πίσω, ούτε σε γνώριζαν απ' τα περιοδικά, σε είχαν αγαπήσει χωρίς φωτογένεια.”
― Χρήστος Βακαλόπουλος, Η γραμμή του ορίζοντος
