This is Nature - the balance of colossal forces... the mighty Cosmos in perfect equilibrium produces - this...sometimes it seems to me that man is come where he is not wanted...why should he run about here and there, talking about the stars, disturbing the blades of grass?

Name none of the fallen, for they stand in our place, and stand there still in each moment of our lives. Let my death hold no glory, and let me die forgotten and unknown. Let it not be said that I was one among the dead to accuse the living.
Steven EriksonMots clés philosophical-reflection
Herman Melville is not comforting. Emily Dickinson isn’t either. Maybe their work is too hungry for comfort, or just too vivid for comfort. But Henry James is – profoundly so. Because he is tender. The tenderness is there in the structure of the sentence. He knows the way the poor and the dead are forgotten by the living, and he cannot allow that to happen. So he keeps on writing for them, for the dead, as if they were children to be sheltered and loved, never abandoned.

Even the brightest magnesium flare can do little against such dark except blind the eyes of the one holding it. Thus one craves what by seeing one has in fact not seen.

Words and form! We have a totally clear view of the world when we're fourteen years old, maybe sooner. But then we need another fifty years in order to create a language that can express those impressions. And in the mean time, of course, they've faded away.

البدايات متداخلةٌ ومحتشدة برأسي. ولعل البدايات كما كان أستاذي القديم سوريانوس يقول، ما هي إلا محض أوهام نعتقدها. فالبداية والنهاية، إنما تكونان فقط في الخط المستقيم. ولا خطوط مستقيمة إلا في أوهامنا، أو في الوريقات التي نسطر فيها ما نتوهمَّه. أما في الحياة وفي الكون كله، فكل شيء دائري يعود إلى ما منه بدأ، ويتداخل مع ما به اتصل. فليس ثمة بداية ولا نهاية على الحقيقة، وما ثم إلا التداخل، ولا يكف التفريع، ولا الملء ولا التفريغ .. الأمر الواحد يتوالى باتصاله، فتتسع دائرته لتتداخل مع الأمر الآخر، وتتفرع عنهما دائرة جديدة تتداخل بدورها مع بقية الدوائر. فتمتلئ الحياة، بأن تكتمل دائرتها، فتفرغ عند انتهائنا بالموت، لنعود إلى ما منه ابتدأنا.
يوسف زيدانMots clés philosophical-reflection
The craggy lines that made up the character in his face now seemed like scars of defeat, inflicted on him over time.
