Man is more noble dead than alive, because in returning to the earth he becomes earth, and nothing is nobler than the earth that entombs us, closes our eyes, and blossoms in a beautiful eternity.

This Blinding Absence of Light

I learned that one could get used to anything, even to living without a face, or sex, or hope.
Tahar Ben Jelloun
This Blinding Absence of Light

Even worse than the experience of horror is the denial of its existence.

I flatten you, break your back, shove you in a pit, I let you die by inches in utter, lifeless darkness, and then I deny everything. It never existed. What? A dungeon in Tazmamart? Who is this insolent idiot who dares think our country has committed such a crime, such an unspeakable evil? Throw him out!
