“His friends told him that nobody was interested in his goddam soul unless it was the priest and he managed to answer that no priest taking orders from no pope was going to tamper with his soul. They told him he didn't have any soul and left for the brothel.

He took a long time to believe them because he wanted to believe them. All he wanted was to believe them and get rid of it once and for all, and he saw opportunity here to get rid of it without corruption, to be converted to nothing instead of to evil. The army sent him halfway around the world and forgot him. He was wounded and they remembered him long enough to take the shrapnel out of his chest - they said they took it out but they never showed it to him and he felt it still in there, rusted, and poisoning him - and then they sent him to another desert and forgot him again. He had all the time he could want to study his soul in and assure himself that it was not there. When he was thoroughly convinced, he saw that this was something that he had always known.”
― Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood

“Twenty-seven bones make up the human hand. Lunate and capitate and navicular, scaphoid, and triquetrum, the tiny horn-shaped pisiforms of the outer wrist. Though different in shape and density each is smoothly aligned and flush-fitted, lashed by a meshwork of ligatures running under the skin. All vertebrates share a similar set of bones, and all bones grow out of the same tissue: a bird's wing, a whale's dorsal fine, a gecko's pad, your own hand. Bust an arm or leg and the knitting bone's sealed in a wrap of calcium so it's stronger than before. Bust a bone in your hand and it never heals right.”
― Craig Davidson, Rust and Bone: Stories

“De mens draagt een dubbele drang in zich, die tegenstrijdige impulsen veroorzaakt: enerzijds het zoeken naar opwinding, anderzijds het zoeken naar rust.

Daardoor ontstaat in hen een verward programma, dat in het diepst van hun innerlijk voor hun eigen waarneming verborgen blijft en hen ertoe brengt door drukke activiteit naar rust te zoeken.

De oplossing is verstrooiing, afleiding, waardoor de mens niet meer nadenkt over zichzelf, want dat is volgens hem een bron van ellende. Een aantal eeuwen later ontdekte men in het Westen een wijsheid uit het Oosten: het opheffen van het zelf is een voorwaarde om je goed te voelen.”
― Paul Verhaeghe, Intimiteit

― Ricardo Menéndez Salmón

“Geef ons een zonsondergang van een verdronken zon, geef ons een vuurrode dageraad.
Praat met de beuk en de eik, praat met de overweldigende donder.
En toon wonderen als het laatste uur daar is, wanneer de blik een glimlach ontlokt, de lamp de nachtvlinder verleidt, de kinderen een droom omhelzen, de olmen een tijd van twijgen aanduiden, de heuvels worden neergedrukt door het Niets.
En toon de verblindende pijl, de hemel die tot uitbarsting komt…
Toon de harmonische kleuren, wanneer de ademhaling stopt en de vingers droefheden tekenen, de kinderen van glimlachen dromen, de rotsen naar de stilte luisteren, de cipressen de horizon opensplijten.
Toon de rust die terugkeert, de hemel die trilt…
Praat met het blaadje en de bloem, praat met de dag die verstrijkt.
Geef ons een stevige, zekere hartslag.
Geef ons, nu,
rust.”
― Marcello Fois, Misdaad op Sardinië: Intriges op een Italiaans eiland
