“This forbidden ambrosia—when Eve tastes it, she blushes before the image of the naked Adam, and together they fall like Icarus, without wings, with a smile.”
George Peros, FAMINE: A Sequence

“How did we end up here? I ask as well; canned like sardines on sale, so tranquil and shiny, with dead eyes and open mouths, in oil without guts. Their only purpose: to wait. Wait until someone opens the can—or the metro door—to be eaten. But they don’t care. Why care? They’re already inside. Dead.”
George Peros, URBANIMALITY: Fragments

“We conformed, and we will conform again—and then again—until our final conformity.”
George Peros, URBANIMALITY: Fragments

“The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand”
Italo Calvino

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde

“Eye contact was a delicate matter. A quarter second of a shared glance was a violation of agreements that made the city operational.”
Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis

“when I become death. Death is the seed from which I grow.”
William S. Burroughs

“It is a kind of dizzying comfort to contemplate the open abyss when, at the bottom of that abyss, lies nothingness.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
