Abstract art was the quivalent of poetic expression; I didnโt need to use words,but colors and lines. I didnโt need to belong to a language-oriented culture but to an open form of expression.
Etel AdnanDo what your inner soul tells you to do, regardless of any money or success it will bring you.
Etel AdnanTo read a lot of trash mixing the blood of war with businessโs stench. To root out any happiness. To go out, and down, and on the road. To hesitate; to go on, and ahead, and back, and up the stairs, and in oneโs room. On the way, to notice that the mountain is still there. To lie and sleep, deeply, heavily. To reproduce nightโs sleep. To wake up, look through the window at green water, from the Bay to the mountain, and return to oneโs self. To remember that war is devastating Irak. To feel pain.
