Quote by Ish Ait Hamou

“Ze zeggen dat rouw even diep is als liefde was. Sommige dagen kom ik tot het inzicht dat ik geluk heb gehad omdat ik Maria zo lang naast me heb gehad en op andere dagen stel ik vast dat als ik haar niet zo lang naast me had gehad het niet zo moeilijk zou zijn om haar te missen. Elke dag moet ik beslissen of ik dankbaar ben of eenzaam. Maar ik wil haar verdomme gewoon terug zien. Dat is wat ik wil.”

“An honest goodbye is one that does not seek excuses or reasons, or explanations of any kind. Ultimately, it is not because of this or that that we part from a lover. Far from being an orderly linear progression, causes and effects form a complex web of interacting forces that together manifest in this or that result, which in its turn becomes part of the web and contributes to whatever comes next. The web itself is as broad and deep as the ocean. Behind every event, no matter how small, is a universe of causative factors stretching back through time as well as space. So let us rather bow to the fact and the mystery of what is before us, whatever it may be, and embrace its reality, regardless of its origins, without trying to control it by explaining it away.”

“This is what I’ve found about life, as I’ve gotten older: you start to lose people, Angela. It’s not that there is ever a shortage of people—oh, heavens no. It is merely that—as the years pass—there comes to be a terrible shortage of your people. The ones you loved. The ones who knew the people that you both loved. The ones who know your whole history. Those people start to be plucked away by death, and they are awfully hard to replace after they go. After a certain age, it can become difficult to make new friends. The world can begin to feel lonely and sparse, teeming though it may be with freshly minted young souls.”

“The pain I feel from the Slits ending is worse than splitting up with a boyfriend, my parents divorcing or being chucked out of the Flowers of Romance: this feels like the death of a huge part of myself, two whole thirds gone. Now the Slits are over and Tessa has recovered, I’ve got nowhere to go, nothing to do; I’m cast back into the world like a sycamore seed spinning into the wind. I’m burnt out and my heart is broken. I can’t bear to listen to music. Every time I hear a song I feel physical pain, just to hear instruments is unbearable, it reminds me of what I’ve lost.”

“When I think about all the loss surrounding us in the world and in my own--the loss of high school classmates before our ten-year high school reunion, those with so much ahead of them--my chest tightens at the thought of who these people never got the chance to be.”
