Anne Lamott
“You don't want to spend your time around people who make you hold your breath. You can't fill up when you're holding your breath. And writing is about filling up, filling up when you are empty, letting images and ideas and smells run down like water - just as writing is also about dealing with the emptiness.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

إلياس خوري
“يالو يا سيدي لا يوافق معي أن الحياة لا معنى لها. كأنه اكتشف معنى آخر للحياة لا يريد أن يقوله لأحد. حتى أنا لا أعرف. أدنو منه وأقرأ له، يلتفت إليّ لحظة، ثم يشيح وجهه عني، ويعود إلى عالمه الخاص الذي يأخذه إلى حيث لا يدري. يالو يا سيدي اكتشف أن الإنسان لا يكون إلا حين يصير في أسفل السافلين. هناك في الأسفل، لا يعود أحد أداة أحد. هناك يصبح خروفاً ذبج بدل الجميع،فطارت روحه فوق العالم لأنها صارت حرّة”
إلياس خوري, Yalo

Anne Lamott
“I want people who write to crash or dive below the surface, where life is so cold and confusing and hard to see.

Your anger and damage and grief are the way to the truth.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
