Heraclitus
“Everything flows, nothing stands still.”
Heraclitus

Roland Barthes
“Ultimately — or at the limit — in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes. 'The necessary condition for an image is sight,'Janouch told Kafka; and Kafka smiled and replied: 'We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.”
Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography

William S. Burroughs
“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers. We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers. ”
William S. Burroughs

Yukio Mishima
“A small night storm blows
Saying ‘falling is the essence of a flower’
Preceding those who hesitate”
Yukio Mishima

John Keats
“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard, are sweeter”
John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn And Other Poems
