Mahasweta Devi
“সময় ফিরে পাওয়া যায় না। সময় চলে যায় নির্মম, ঘাতক, নিয়তিসমান সময়। সময় জাহ্নবী, শোক বেলাভূমি। সময়ের স্রোতে শোকের ওপর পলিমাটি চাপা পড়ে। তারপর একদিন সেই পলিমাটি ফুঁড়ে নতুন নতুন অঙ্কুরের আঙুল বেরোয়। আঙুলগুলো আকাশপানে আবার উঠতে চায়। আশার, বেদনার, সুখের, আনন্দের অঙ্কুরের আঙুল।”
Mahasweta Devi, Mother of 1084

Søren Kierkegaard
“Solo hay un camino para asegurarse nunca ser engañado, y ese es el de creerlo todo amorosamente.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Works of Love

Søren Kierkegaard
“Hablando en términos humanos, amar es seguir la representación que el amado se haya formado acerca de lo que es el amor, y haciéndolo uno será amado.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Works of Love

Gilles Deleuze
“[The dogmatic image of thought]… presupposes codes or axioms which do not result by chance, but which do not have an intrinsic rationality either. It’s just like theology: everything about it is quite rational if you accept sin, the immaculate conception, and the incarnation. Reason is always a region carved out of the irrational — not sheltered from the irrational at all, but traversed by it and only defined by a particular kind of relationship among irrational factors. Underneath all reason lies delirium, and drift.”
Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition

Toni Morrison
“It's a nice big fat philosophical question, about: how do you get through? Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It's not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. It's that, that makes it elegant. Good is just more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly, it may be horrible, but at the same time it's not a compelling idea. It's predictable. It needs a tuxedo, it needs a headline, it needs blood, it needs fingernails. It needs all that costume in order to get anybody's attention. But the opposite, which is survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are just more compelling intellectually if not spiritually, and they certainly are spiritually. This is a more fascinating job. We are already born, we are going to die. So you have to do something interesting that you respect in between.”
Toni Morrison
