You have a unique body and mind, with a particular history and conditioning. No one can offer you a formula for navigating all situations and all states of mind. Only by listening inwardly in a fresh and open way will you discern at any given time what most serves your healing and freedom. ↗

Aunque tardé mucho tiempo y tuve que recorrer gran parte del mundo para aprender lo que ahora sé sobre el amor, el destino y las decisiones que tomamos, la esencia de ese conocimiento me llegó en un solo instante, encadenado a una pared mientras me torturaban. De algún modo me di cuenta entonces, entre los gritos que llenaban mi cabeza, que incluso en aquella maniatada y sangrienta impotencia, seguía conservando mi libertad; la libertad de odiar a los hombres que me estaban torturando o de perdonarles. No parece mucho, lo sé, pero sometidos al dolor y al suplicio de las cadenas, cuando es lo único que tenemos, esa libertad es un universo de posibilidades. Y la decisión que tomemos, sea el odio o el perdón, puede convertirse en la historia de nuestra vida. ↗


— Gregory David Roberts

"He says to them that freedom is a word when nothing is anymore able to be losed." Janis Joplin, de-syntaxed. ↗

The British Army and Navy sang a rousing song called "Heart of Oak"; the rebels had writ one to counter it called "The Liberty Song." Both songs blustered of freedom; but both were sung to the same tune. And we, to avoid offense, played the tune without words. ↗


— M.T. Anderson

All of which makes up a story I do not choose to tell. I choose not to tell it because to no one, not even to you, do I own proof that I am a substantial being with a substantial history in the world. ↗


— J.M. Coetzee

Anyone even remotely suspect was interrogated, because interrogation is by far the most effective method of speedily banishing inappropriate thoughts from the mind. ↗

В детстве Корнелий читал о страхе птицы, которую после неволи выпускают из окна. Открывшийся мир кажется ей жутко громадным и полным угроз. Она рвётся назад - в комнату, в привычную клетку!.. ↗
