“No matter how far you go into the deep, you are always on the brink of another abyss.”
Hamid Ismailov, The Underground

“Handed down to each person is a kind of thread. Either you can follow that thread all the way to God—or you can tangle the thread, and stumble and strangle in the knots, and lose sight of the right direction and go astray.”
Hamid Ismailov, Of Strangers and Bees

“The burning coals turned red,
What's gulped down won't come back.
The tiger is lurking in the high steppes, they say,
The Kyrgyz heart is pounding...

Will the Kyrgyz, locked up, now die, alas?
Will every one of our people become a Chinaman, alas?
Will it put fear in the heart, alas?
Will the ugly-faced dark Chinese,
Enjoy trampling us down, alas?”
Hamid Ismailov, Manaschi
