''When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.'' There are some subjects that I'm dealing with all the time. The vulnerability of the human being. Humiliation, when people humiliate each other and when they humiliate themselves. Unfortunately, we've had a period where to look after one another is seen as old-fashioned. I'm a cynical person and I think that by a certain age, coincidences lose their magic, no longer surprise, become run-of-the-mill and at that day I die.. but 'till that day any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.
“I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming.”
― Jacques Lacan

Favorite Quotes
Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled. _William Blake
Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory. _Milan Kundera
You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.
