Malina

‘...for bumping into me and rediscovering me as I once was, my earliest layers, for retrieving me from underneath all the rubble and I shall beautify him for all his gifts... so I’ll begin simply, with the simplest gift of all, his ability to make me laugh again’
‘Reading is a vice which can replace all other vices or temporarily take their place in more intensely helping people live, it is a debauchery, a consuming addiction’
‘There are books i don’t ever let go, I drag them around with me in the apartment, carrying them from the living room into the kitchen, I read them in the hall standing up’
‘A day will come when people will have black golden eyes, they will see beauty, they will be free from dirt and from every burden, they will rise into the sky, they will dive into the waters, they will forget their calluses and hardships. A day will come when they will be free, all people will be free, even from the freedom they had presumed. There shall be a greater freedom, beyond measure, a freedom to last a whole life long.’
‘No one has ever died as far as I’m concerned, and it’s rare that anyone is living, except in the theater of my thoughts.’
‘ People don’t change very much. As long as something’s inconceivable, inexplicable, or pitch black, it moves them, they go walking in the woods or rocketing into space, bringing their own world of secrets into the secrets of the world.’
‘Life is reading a page you have read, or reading over your shoulder, reading with you and not forgetting, because you don’t forget anything.’
‘They don’t need tears made in Austria.’
