“We have a heavenly country, but in a sense it is too difficult to love, because we do not know it; above all, in a sense, it is too easy to love, because we can imagine it as we please. We run the risk of loving a fiction under this name. If the love of the fiction is strong enough it makes all virtues easy, but at the same time of little value. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it.”
― Simone Weil, Love in the Void: Where God Finds Us

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”

“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
