Some police forces would believe anything. Not the Metropolitan police, though. The Met was the hardest, most cynically pragmatic, most stubbornly down-to-earth police force in Britain. It would take a lot to phase a copper from the Met. It would take, for example, a huge, battered car that was nothing more nor less than a fireball, a blazing, roaring, twisted metal lemon from Hell, driven by a grinning lunatic in sunglasses, sitting amid the flames, trailing thick black smoke, coming straight at them through the lashing rain and wind at eighty miles an hour. That would do it every time. ↗
Måske er det svært for en dansker at sætte sig ind i, hvordan det er at få afslag alene på sin afstamning. Hvordan det er kun at blive lukket delvist ind i et samfund, hvor man gerne vil være være. Et samfund, hvor man er, men ikke er alligevel. Altså jeg er til stede i det her samfund, men der er ingen, der ser mig og mine problemer, der er ingen, der vil hjælpe mig. Hvad skal jeg så gøre for, at folk lytter til mig og ser, at jeg er her? Det kan jeg gøre ved at skabe ravage og kaos. Hvis vi skaber kaos nok, så ser resten af Danmark os. Så hører i os og mærker os. Så kan det godt være, vi får dårlig omtale, men i ved, at vi er her, og så længe vi har det dårligt, så har i det også dårligt. For hvis i ser, der er skyderier, at der er vold i gaden, så er det ikke kun vores virkelighed. Det er også jeres virkelighed. ↗
jeg ville gøre alt for, at alle skulle vide, hvem Sleiman var. Jeg stoppede aldrig for rødt lys. Jeg ville køre alt ned på min vej for at nå mit mål, og mit mål var at blive sat i tronstolen, så folk kunne sige: 'Se. Der sidder Gadens Prins.' Det blev jeg også, men da jeg var blevet det, var der mange, der hadede mig, og kun meget få, der elskede mig, fordi jeg havde gjort så meget ondt for at nå dertil. ↗

If you make art, people will talk about it. Some of the things they say will be nice, some won’t. You’ll already have made that art, and when they’re talking about the last thing you did, you should already be making the next thing. If bad reviews (of whatever kind) upset you, just don’t read them. It’s not like you’ve signed an agreement with the person buying the book to exchange your book for their opinion. Do whatever you have to do to keep making art. I know people who love bad reviews, because it means they’ve made something happen and made people talk; I know people who have never read any of their reviews. It’s their call. You get on with making art. ↗
Thirty-nine years of my life had passed before I understood that clouds were not my enemy; that they were beautiful, and that I needed them. I suppose this, for me, marked the beginning of wisdom. Life is short. ↗

None of this can actually be happening. If it makes you more comfortable, you could simply think of it as metaphor. Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you — even, perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs over all opposition. Religions are places to stand and look and act, vantage points from which to view the world. ↗
