“عاشر الزمان وجها لوجه بلا شريك. بلا ملهاة ولا مخدر. واجهه في جموده وتوقفه وثقله. إنه شيء عنيد ثابت كثيف وهو الذي يتحرك في ثناياه كما يتحرك النائم في كابوس. إنه جدار غليظ مرهق متجهم. غير محتمل إذا انفرد بمعزل عن الناس والعمل. كأننا لا نعمل ولا نصادق ولا نحب ولا نلهو إلا فرارا من الزمن. الشكوى من قصره ومروره أرحم من الشكوى من توقفه.”

“I've never done anything but dream. This, and this alone, has been the meaning of my life. My only real concern has been my inner life.”
