Palestine needs earth, but it does not need lawyers.

The man in ecstasy and the man drowning - both throw up their arms. The first to signify harmony, the second to signify strife with the elements.

I'm thinking only of my illness and my health, though both, the first as well as the second, are you.

In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Suffering is the positive element in this world, indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive.

We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.
