Woody Allen
“You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that, when we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us. So that love contains in it the contradiction: The attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past.”
Woody Allen

Frauke Heyde
“As midnight came, he named every star in the sky after her.”
Frauke Heyde

Frauke Heyde
“je vond me
huilend
en vroeg me
“waarom die tranen”
ik zei “om mezelf”
en jij zei
“we huilen alleen om de dingen waar we van houden”
nu vind ik huilen
niet zo erg meer
en huil ik
ook om jou”
Frauke Heyde

Hannah Arendt
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“Never allow yourself to be sapped of your extraordinary energy that is the necessary ingredient for creating something new and progressive.”
Janvier Chouteu-Chando, The Girl on the Trail
