André Gide - It's A Matter Of Courage

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.

“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

And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains.

“The answer is not coming. I have to find an arbitrary point inside the spell of waiting, the open absence, and tear myself away. Leave, with no answer. Move on to the next question.”

— Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers

“To live is to exist within time. To remember is to negate time.”

— Ling Ma, Bliss Montage

And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share and no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
