Χριστίνα Μ. Ψύλλα
“Η αλήθεια με τα χρόνια γίνεται μύθος, όταν ο
κόσμος φοβάται αυτό που δεν μπορεί να εξηγήσει.
-Ελίζ”
Χριστίνα Μ. Ψύλλα, Η Βασίλισσα του Χρόνου

Agatha Christie
“Everybody always knows something," said Adam. "Even if it's something they don't know they know.”
Agatha Christie, Cat Among the Pigeons

Agatha Christie
“... but the unlikely happened more often than one would be disposed to believe.”
Agatha Christie, The Clocks

David Diop
“Any event that surprises a man has already been experienced by other men before him. The effects of all human possibilities have already been felt. Nothing that might happen to us here, as terrible or as felicitous as it might seem, is new. But what we experience is always new because every man is unique, the way every leaf and every tree is unique. Men share with each other the same lifeblood, but each feeds himself from it differently. Even if the new isn’t really new, it’s always new for those who, ceaselessly, wash up on the world’s shores, generation after generation, wave after wave. So, in order to find yourself in life, to not lose yourself on the path, you must listen to the voice of duty. To think too much about yourself is to falter. Whoever understands this secret has the potential to live in peace. But it’s easier said than done.”
David Diop, At Night All Blood is Black

David Diop
“To translate is never simple. To translate is to betray at the borders, it’s to cheat, it’s to trade one sentence for another. To translate is one of the only human activities in which one is required to lie about the details to convey the truth at large. To translate is to risk understanding better than others that the truth about a word is not single, but double, even triple, quadruple, or quintuple. To translate is to distance oneself from God’s truth, which, as everyone knows or believes, is single.”
David Diop, At Night All Blood is Black
