Martha Gellhorn, from a letter to William Walton featured in The Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn

She wanted to scream, but a person who is alone—alone in the absolute sense of the word—does not scream out her despair; it is useless. Deserts do not hear. But she can do things with her hands which even a desert must notice. She can tear at the sand until the desert bleeds.

– Stig Dagerman, from “Men of Character,” The Games of Night (Quartet, 1986)

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha (1922)
