“But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again. ”

“يوم نموت سيمحو النسيم الرقيق آثار أقدامنا علي الرمال .. بعدما يفني النسيم، تري من يخبر الأبدية أننا مشينا ها هنا مرة في فجر الزمان؟”

“لماذا تحرق النار؟ لأنها نار ، لماذا يطفئها الماء؟ لأنه ماء ، لماذا يرتوي به النمر؟ لأنه نمر. ذلك التسـامح المطلق مـع طبائع الاشيـاء , لانها لا تكون سوى نفسها ! وليس لك ان تتوقـع اكثـر من أي شئ ... , حين تفهم ان النار لا حيلة لها إلا أن تحـرق ! والماء لا حيـلة له إلا ان يطفـئ ! ... عندئذ ستغفـر للثعبان لدغـاته وللقط خدوشه ولخصمك ضـرباته”

“The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright
-- And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done
-- "It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead
-- There were no birds to fly.
In a Wonderland they lie
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summer die.”
― Alice in Wonderland
