Distance Quotes

“كل الحاجات بتفكرني
بعيون حيرتها تحيرني
والذكرى مش بتصبرني
تمر صورتك اتبسم
الابتسامه تعذبني
كل الحاجات حواليا تدور
زي الحيطان بتداري النور
وقلبي من بعد الطيران
ما حيلته الا جناح مكسور
دلوقتي مهما اقول الآه
وانت بعيد مين يسمعني



كل الحاجات الا عيونك ممكن انسى
كل الحاجات من حواليا عارفة وحاسة
ضاع الونس يا قمر غايب
بعدك ماليش اي حبايب
دلوقتي حتى بخاف حزني يبعد عني
كل الحاجات كانت تضحك لما اقابلك
لا عرفت نفسي من قبلك ولا من بعدك
قبلك ماكانليش ولا حاجة
بعدك سنيني محتاجه
ياريت تشوف دمعه صوتي لما أغني”
― عبدالرحمن الأبنودي

“I know love is dark work; you have to get your hands dirty. If you hold back, nothing interesting happens. At the same time, you have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you; too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation?”
― Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“Seasons of the heart. To get through what I must I'm often encased in ice and for months he chips away until he can see my face and after a while, I begin to thaw. As warmth and feeling returns, my emotions continue to build until my personality is set on fire. When he leaves, the fire dwindles until there is but a flicker. Then there is stillness and winter returns.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“With increasing distance, our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly. Eventually, we reach the dim boundary—the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. Not until the empirical resources are exhausted, need we pass on to the dreamy realms of speculation.”
― Edwin Powell Hubble, The Realm of the Nebulae

“The 'Dance of Love' is much more of a dialogue, one takes the lead and the other follows. One dictates a step and the other carries it out. One determines the direction, the other determines the distance travelled in a given figure. One sets the pace, the other reveals the grace. One understands the language of the other and knows what is coming next. The one leading leads with love and respect; never seeing the follower as being weak or inferior. And in the same manner, the one following follows with Trust and Submission; never feeling too big to be led or scared to jump. There is a blind assurance that someone is there to catch.”
― Olaotan Fawehinmi

“And it was in that moment of distress and confusion that the whip of terror laid its most nicely calculated lash about his heart. It dropped with deadly effect upon the sorest spot of all, completely unnerving him. He had been secretly dreading all the time that it
would come - and come it did.

Far overhead, muted by great height and distance, strangely thinned and wailing, he heard the crying voice of Defago, the guide.

The sound dropped upon him out of that still, wintry sky with an effect of dismay and terror unsurpassed. The rifle fell to his feet. He stood motionless an instant, listening as it were with his whole body, then staggered back against the nearest tree for support, disorganized hopelessly in mind and spirit. To him, in that moment, it seemed the most shattering and dislocating experience he had ever known, so that his heart emptied itself of all feeling whatsoever as by a sudden draught.

'Oh! oh! This fiery height! Oh, my feet of fire! My burning feet of fire...' ran in far, beseeching accents of indescribable appeal this voice of anguish down the sky. Once it called - then silence through all the listening wilderness of trees.

And Simpson, scarcely knowing what he did, presently found himself running wildly to and fro, searching, calling, tripping over roots and boulders, and flinging himself in a frenzy of undirected pursuit after the Caller. Behind the screen of memory and emotion with which experience veils events, he plunged, distracted and half-deranged, picking up false lights like a ship at sea, terror in his eyes and heart and soul. For the Panic of the Wilderness had called to him in that far voice - the Power of untamed Distance - the Enticement of the Desolation that destroys. He knew in that moment all the pains of someone hopelessly and irretrievably lost, suffering the lust
and travail of a soul in the final Loneliness. A vision of Defago, eternally hunted, driven and pursued across the skyey vastness of those ancient forests fled like a flame across the dark ruin of his thoughts...

It seemed ages before he could find anything in the chaos of his disorganized sensations to which he could anchor himself steady for a moment, and think...

The cry was not repeated; his own hoarse calling brought no response; the inscrutable forces of the Wild had summoned their victim beyond recall - and held him fast.

("The Wendigo")”
― Algernon Blackwood, Monster Mix

“Czułem się zupełnie tak samo, jakby nagle wyrzucono mnie nocą do morza z pokładu płynącego statku. (...) Nie wiem, czy zostałem popchnięty, czy sam spadłem, ale w każdym razie statek płynął dalej, a ja w ciemnej, zimnej wodzie patrzyłem, jak oddalają się światła pokładu. Nikt – ani pasażerowie, ani załoga – nie wiedzieli, że wpadłem do morza. Nie miałem się czego uchwycić. Nadal czuję w sobie ten strach. Obawę, że moje istnienie zostanie nieoczekiwanie zaprzeczone, że choć nic złego nie zrobiłem, zostanę wyrzucony nocą do morza. Prawdopodobnie dlatego nie potrafię już tworzyć z ludźmi głębszych związków. Zawsze teraz zachowuję w stosunku do innych pewien dystans.”
― Haruki Murakami, 色彩を持たない多崎つくると、彼の巡礼の年
