Ian Kelly
“He keeps us waiting rather than wishing for him. I feel it a matter of perfect indifference whether he arrives at any moment or not at all.” — Lady Harriet Cavendish of George Beau Brummell”
Ian Kelly, Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Man of Style

Kamel Daoud
“As far as I'm concerned, religion is public transportation I never use.”
Kamel Daoud

“Twilight was reaching its climax, no doubt: the last fires of the sun, like a violent dermatitis, ruched and ravined the horizon, giving it blisters, edema, and creases — the yellows, oranges, turquoise, ocher, reddish purples, crimsons, and browns became more vivid as the star descended, becoming bruises, scales, scabs, clots, and even bleeding eviscerations, as though the sky were reproducing the painful sequence of it's birth, what psychoanalysts call repetition compulsion.”
Eric Laurrent from "Do Not Touch"

Lucian Freud
“When I'm painting people in clothes I'm always thinking very much of naked people, or animals dressed.”
Lucian Freud

Rabih Alameddine
“Uncle Jihad used to say that what happens is of little significance compared with the stories we tell ourselves about what happens. Events matter little, only stories of those events affect us. My father and I may have shared numerous experiences, but, as I was constantly finding out, we rarely shared their stories; we din't know how to listen to one another.”
Rabih Alameddine
