“A postcard. Neat handwriting fills the rectangle.

Half my days I cannot bear to touch you.
The rest of my time I feel like it doesn’t matter if I will ever see you again. It isn’t the morality, it’s how much you can bear.

No date. No name attached.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“He has been disassembled by her. And if she has brought him to this, what has he brought her to?”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“I cannot be an optimist but I am a prisoner of hope.”
Cornel West

“Empathy is not simply a matter of trying to imagine what others are going through, but having the will to muster enough courage to do something about it. In a way, empathy is predicated upon hope.”
Cornel West

“He wants the minute and secret reflection between them, the depth of field minimal, their foreignness intimate like two pages of a closed book.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient
