Quote by هاجد محمد

“‏لا أعرف مالذي أحتاجُه؛ لكنّي أحتاج مَعرفة كلّ شيء .. هذا الشعور قاسٍ للغاية ومُتعب .. أحتاج ألّا أفكّر بما يجري؛ ألّا أعرف؛ ألّا أشعُر بفقدِ أحد .. أن أنام كلّ يوم دون أن أحمل أمسي معي!”

“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures." "That's an oversimplification of the issue." "The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world don't you? I'm terrified of that world and I don't want to live in a that world, and as a mixed race person, I literally don't exist in it. My dad, who I barely knew, was Jewish. My mom was an American-born Korean. I was raised by Korean immigrant grandparents in Korea Town Los Angeles and as any mixed race person will tell you-- to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.”

“Rome took all the vanity out of me, for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair." "Why should you, with so much energy and talent?" "That's just why, because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a common-place dauber, so I don't intend to try anymore.”
