“If man were to come to grips with his real nature, if he were to discover his real heritage, he would become so exalted, or else so frightened, that he would find it impossible to go to sleep again. To live would be a perpetual challenge to create. But the very thought of a possible, swift and endless metamorphosis terrifies him. He sleeps now, not comfortably to be sure, but certainly more and more obstinately, in the womb of a creation whose only need of verification is his own awakening.”

— Henry Miller, Sunday After the War

“I know the secret of life isn’t in books. But I also know that it’s good to read, that it can be instructive, or relaxing: we agree about that.”

— Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

بدأ الناس يستيقظون بالفعل، بدأ لون الفجر المميز في تخلل نوافذ البيوت ليخبرهم أن عليهم استقبال واحد جديد من تلك الأشياء التي يسمونها الأيام، عليهم أن يقضوا يوماً آخر بشكل ما، أن يبحثوا عن لقمة وعن سترة وعن ضحكات تسليهم، حتى يحين موعد النوم، حتي يأتي الفجر التالي، أو يأتي الفجر الأخير، تلك هي قواعد اللعبة القاسية، بشكل ما قد رضي بها الجميع، لا أسمع أحداً يعترض.

“Grief does not only need to be felt. It also demands to be defined.”
