“أنا صمت الكائنات قبل الكارثة، وذهولها بعد الخراب.”— علي عكور
ثمة شيء ما، مقدس، في كل كائن لا يعرف أنه يوجد، في كل أشكال الحياة المتخلصة من الوعي. ومن لم يحسد النبات قط ينتقل الى جانب المأساة الإنسانية.
“Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.”— Susan Sontag, The Double Standard of Aging (1972)
