#borg

As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along. ↗

Anlıyorsun değil mi, ateşli mektuplarım, ateşli çağrılarım, ateşli tutkularım, yanmış ellerimle kağıda döktüğüm bütün bir yangın -en çok korktuğum şey, bütün bunların bir parça yanmış kağıda dönüşebilme olasılığı. Dünyadaki tüm kağıtlar sonunda ya kömürleşmiştir ya da suda yumuşamıştır, çünkü ateşin üstüne hep suları püskürtür. Malina: Eskiler, aptal biri için, onun kalbi yoktur, derlerdi. Aklın ve zekanın bulunduğu yer diye kalbi göstermişlerdi. Kalbini her şeye açmak, tüm söylevlerini ve mektuplarını ateşe boğmak zorunda değilsin. Ama ne kadar çok insanın yalnızca kafası var ve kafasından çok hiçbir şeyi yok, bir bilsen! Ve onların kalpleri yok. ↗
