Death Is Hard Work by Khaled Khalifa, خالد خليفة

5.0

“Discovering love is like seeing a bouquet floating down a river. You have to catch it at the right time, or the river will sweep it away; it won’t wait for long. You have only a few intense, mad moments to give voice to your profound desires.”

“In the face of a meaningless death, hanging on to the self becomes a task as sacred as it is selfish.”

“In war, death is blind. It never stops to look at its victims.”
