If I wanted to escape you, I would have had to escape the rest of the family too. Franz Kafka A letter to my father
I had lost my self-confidence whenever I was in your presence, had exchanged it for a boundless sense of guilt.
لمْ أكُنْ أشعرُ تُجاهكَ بشيءٍ ولا أفهم كيفَ كانَ لكَ أنْ تتوقّعَ الحصولَ مِنّا على تَعاطُف!
رُحتُ أتشبّثُ بواقِعي العَمليّ المُعاش، و ذلِكَ كنوعٍ مِن إثباتِ الذّاتِ أمامكَ. كما أنَّ الأمرَ من جانبٍ آخرٍ كانَ نوعاً مِن الانتِقام.
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die.
I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you.
