“الأشخاص الذين تلامستْ حياتهم يحتاجونَ إلى تجديد الاتصال، حتى بعد أن يذهب كلٌ منهم في اتجاهٍ مختلفٍ، حتى إنْ أصبحتْ حياةُ كلٍ منهم الجديد جزءًا مما يتقاسمونه الآن.
لا أحدَ يمتلكُ أي شخصٍ آخر. إننا معًا يملكُ كلٌ منا الآخر والطبيعة والزمن.
الأمرُ بهذه البساطة.”
― Liv Ullmann, Changing

“There's little in taking or giving
There's little in water or wine
This living, this living , this living
was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
the gain of the one at the top
for art is a form of catharsis
and love is a permanent flop
and work is the province of cattle
and rest's for a clam in a shell
so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
would you kindly direct me to hell?”
― Dorothy Parker

“The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body.The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
