Radical Presence Quotes

“You only get so many meals. You only get so many sunsets. You only get so many chances to look someone in the eye and say, 'I am entirely, desperately here with you, and I give a profound, earth-shattering shit about this.”

“Why do I film this?

I film the sunset, the coffee, the street…

Why can’t I just look at the view and let it be enough?

If I stand here and feel this joy, but nobody sees it... did it really happen?
We are constantly building an alibi to prove we actually lived.”
