Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Adieu, dit-il…
- Adieu, dit le renard. Voici mon secret. Il est très simple : on ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
- L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux, répéta le petit prince, afin de se souvenir.
- C’est le temps que tu a perdu pour ta rose qui fait ta rose si importante.
- C’est le temps que j’ai perdu pour ma rose… fit le petit prince, afin de se souvenir.
- Les hommes ont oublié cette vérité, dit le renard. Mais tu ne dois pas l’oublier. Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé. Tu es responsable de ta rose…
- Je suis responsable de ma rose… répéta le petit prince, afin de se souvenir.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Chinua Achebe
“In the end I began to understand. There is such a thing as absolute power over narrative. Those who secure this privilege for themselves can arrange stories about others pretty much where, and as, they like. Just as in corrupt, totalitarian regimes, those who exercise power over others can do anything.”
Chinua Achebe, Home And Exile

Anne Frank
“Because paper has more patience than people. ”
Anne Frank

Thomas Pynchon
“Colonies are the outhouses of the European soul, where a fellow can let his pants down and relax, enjoy the smell of his own shit.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

Brian Andreas
“I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.”
Brian Andreas, Story People
