“إن المرأة التي أعيش معها دائما, إن لم تجعلني أعزف عن كل النساء فليست هي المرأة التي ينبغي أن أعيش معها, ينبغي أن تكون كل النساء, وكل النساء لسن هي,إذا انطفأت الشموع يضئ كلانا الأخر إدا حجبونا بستار سميك أراها و تراني.
المرأة النور الخارق,المرأة الشفافة, لم أجدها بعد.
فـ الوقت الذي كنت اكتب فيه مثل هذه الخواطر عن المرأة المثالية كنت استعذب مضاجعة أحط النساء في البيوت الخفية, المتبقية في مواخير طنجة, انحلال الروح في الجسد هذا ماكان ممكنا لي في هذه المرحلة, و ربما كان هذا قدري”

“Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. Itʼs how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we donʼt need. Think about it. Fear that weʼre going to be attacked, fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesnʼt believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presleyʼs hips. Well, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone.”
― Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

“What kind of idea are you? Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accomodates itself to society, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze? – The kind that will almost certainly, ninety-nine times out of hundred, be smashed to bits; but, the hundredth time, will change the world.”

Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
