“I love the Russian language. I love the melancholic landscapes, when you look out of the window and want to cry; it’s just wonderful. I feel great, because all of this is close to me. I love our sad songs. I love our literature and cinema. It’s always about anguish, contemplation, suffering, melancholy, and self-reflection.”

“This was the more sinister legacy of Eden: the fantasy of perpetual abundance. I was beginning to see what a poisoned fruit it truly was. So many of our most ecologically deleterious behaviours are to do with refusing impermanence and decay, insisting on summer all the time. Permanent growth, constant fertility, perpetual yield, instant pleasure, maximum profit, outsource the labour, keep evidence of pollution out of sight.”
