“LONG LIVE...

This country is but a wish of the spirit, a counter-sepulcher.

In my country, tender proofs of spring and badly dressed birds are preferred to far-off goals.

Truth waits for dawn beside a candle. Window glass is neglected. To the watchful, what does it matter?

In my country, we don't question a man deeply moved.

There is no malignant shadow on the capsized boat.

A cool hello is unknown in my country.

We borrow only what can be returned increased.

There are leaves, many leaves, on the trees in my country. The branches are free to bear no fruits.

We don't believe in the good faith of the victor.

In my country, we say thank you.”
― René Char, The Dawn Breakers: Les Matinaux

“Karena sesungguhnya cinta tidak pernah meminta untuk menanti. Ia mengambil kesempatan atau mempersilakan ... Ia adalah keberanian atau pengorbanan. Ya Allah, jadikan cinta ini cinta yang Engkau ridhai,jika dia memang bukan milik kita ... Melalui waktu, hapuslah ‘cinta dalam diam’ ini dengan memberi rasa yang lebih indah dan orang yang tepat biarkan ‘cinta dalam diam’ ini menjadi memori tersendiri dan sudut hati ini menjadi rahasia antara kita dengan Sang Pemilik hati.”
― Rizqiyyah Yasmin

“If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,

the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.”

[Witnessing the first atomic bomb test explosion.]”

“Vă e milă de mine, nu? Sunt singur, n-am un ban, sunt paralizat și abia am împlinit 28 de ani. Dar pocnesc din degete drept sub nasul vostru și, cu egală aroganță, mi-e milă mie de voi. Mi-e milă de norocul vostru neîntrerupt și de pacea stătută a minților voastre. Prefer furtuna mea. Eu sunt pe moarte, dar voi sunteți deja cadavre. N-ați trăit niciodată cu adevărat. Corpul vostru n-a fost niciodată trezit la viață sub loviturile de bici ale dorinței deznădăjduite de a iubi, de a ști, de a face, de a reuși. N-am ce invidia la voi, cei absorbiți degrijile mărunte ale unei existențe ordinare.
Credeți că aș schimba comuniunea pe care o am cu inima mea pentru baloanele colorate ale conversațiilor voastre prostești? Sau curiozitatea mea pentru interesele voastre nestatornice? Sau disperarea mea pentru speranța voastră confortabilă? Sau viața mea joasă de-acum pentru viața voastră lustruită și curată ca o monedă nouă? Nu aș schimba-o. Mă înfășor în mantie și îi mulțumesc solemn Domnului că nu sunt cum sunt alții.
N-am decât douăzeci și opt de ani, dar în anii aceștia puțini am comprimat o viață destul de lungă: am iubit și m-am căsătorit și am o familie; am plâns și m-am bucurat, am luptat și am învins, iar când va veni ceasul voi fi mulțumit să mor.”
― Barbellon, The Journal of a Disappointed Man

― Vivek Thangaswamy
