Franz Kafka // I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep…and say: ‘Come with me…we are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.’ Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don’t have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much.”

“Lo que de veras fue, no se pierde; la intensidad es una forma de eternidad.”

“What really was, is not lost; intensity is a form of eternity.”

Jorge Luis Borges, Ensayo dedicado a Las Coplas de Jorge Manrique.

Frida Kahlo // “Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.”

Gilles Deleuze // “The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say… What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing…the thing that might be worth saying.”

Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy // “The system will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling…their ideas, their version of history, their wars…their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We may be many and they be few… Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”

Albert Camus // “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
