iQuo

" In ancient times, people werent simply male or female, but one of these three types: male/male , male/female or female/female. In other words, each person was made out of component of two people. Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never gave it much thought. But then, God took a knife and cut everyone into half, right down the middle. So after the world has been divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half."

"Fate chooses man. And the sense of tragedy - according to Aristotle - comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak weak points but from his good qualities. People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their virtues. Opedius is drawn into tragedy not because of laziness or stupidity, but because of his courage and honesty. Everything in life is a metaphor."

Excerpts from Kalfa on The Shore
