We fell into each other’s arms and kissed like we were coming up for air after being underwater for days. The melding of our mouths was sweeter than oxygen. We took huge, deep gulps of each other as we struggled with worldly constraints like clothing and gravity, seeking to transcend it all in our coming together. ↗
What seems worst of all, though, is that even the leaders don't recognize this. The greatest danger of the whole mess is that all this Western-American conditioning has been on autopilot for centuries. Nobody is in control of it anymore. It's a mindless goliath wandering the Earth, devouring lives, erasing potential, and following its every whim—regardless of how irrational, obscene, uneducated, enslaving, or backwards its actions are.

In the same way a translation, instead of resembling the meaning of the original, must lovingly and in detail incorporate the original's mode of signification, thus making both the original and the translation recognizable as fragments of a greater language, just as fragments are part of a vessel. ↗
(...) Ο Θεός έχει μεταμορφωθεί σ'έναν απομακρυσμένο Γενικό Διευθυντή του Σύμπαντος Α.Ε. Ξέρετε ότι βρίσκεται εκεί, διευθύνει το πρόγραμμα (αν και θα μπορούσε ασφαλώς να εκτελείται και χωρίς αυτόν), ποτέ δεν τον βλέπετε, αλλά αναγνωρίζετε την ηγεσία του ενώ "εκτελείτε το μέρος σας". ↗

Stalin is dead! Stalin is dead! No school today!” we yelled. “Stalin is dead! No school today...” was a chant to linger in my ears for years to come. ↗
