“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”

I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's listening.
"I think the asking is whether we get back up again.”

“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. ”
