Death Is Hard Work by Khaled Khalifa

12 highlights

Death wasn’t even a source of distress anymore: it had become an escape much envied by the living.

“والعبث هو فقدان المعنى، معنى أي شيء. انهيار الإيمان، الإيمان بأي شيء. والسير في الحياة بدافع الضرورة وحدها ودون اقتناع وبلا أمل حقيقي. وينعكس ذلك على الشخصية في صورة انحلال وسلبية، وتمسي البطولة خرافة وسخرية ويستوي الخير والشر ويقدَّم أحدهما - إذا قدم - بدافع من الأنانية أو الجبن أو الانتهازية. وتموت القيم جميعا وتنتهي الحضارة.”
― Naguib Mahfouz, ثرثرة فوق النيل

“And the loneliest people above all contribute most to commonality. I have said before that in this vast melody of life, some learn more, some less; therefore, in this big orchestra, everyone has his own role. The one who can perceive the entire melody is at the same time the loneliest and the closest to commonality. He would perceive all that it is not allowed to others, as he would understand in his completeness what the others can only eavesdrop in the darkness of a space full of emptiness. - Rainer Maria Rilke, from “On Solitude,” Letters On Life (Modern Library; Reprint edition, April 11, 2006) Orignally published 2005.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters on Life
