They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

“But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”
Kazuo Ishiguro, in his Nobel Prize (2017) acceptance speech
إنّما الناس سطور كُتبت لكن بماء..
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
— Khalil Gibran, “On Love”
