“you
not wanting me
was
the beginning of me
wanting myself
thank you”
Nayyirah Waheed

“The piece you have written for us is called "The Gambol of the Caribou." Now, Mr. Steenwilly, I don't mean to be critical. What I know about music could be squeezed into a peanut shell, and there would still be room for the peanut. But I looked up "gambol" in the dictionary, and it means to "skip or jump about playfully." It also means to "caper or frolic." Caribou are large, ponderous, woolly reindeer.

They do not gambol. They do not caper. They do not frolic. And they certainly do not skip. It would be an interesting sight to see a herd of caribou skipping down the tundra, but, Mr. Steenwilly, it would never happen. You could write a piece called "The Caribou Standing Still and Freezing Their Butts Off." Or "The March of the Caribou." Or even "The Stampede of the Caribou." But "The Gambol of the Caribou" is not such a great image to build a piece of music around.”
David Klass, You Don't Know Me

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“La cultura è un sistema di limitazioni imposte al comportamento naturale dell'uomo: i non-acculturati, coloro che non sono in grado o rifiutano di interiorizzare i principi morali limitatori, e dunque di autoregolarsi, vengono governati con lo strumento della coercizione.”
Calderon de la Barca, La Vida Es Sueño

Julio Cortázar
“Andábamos sin buscarnos, pero sabíamos que andábamos para encontrarnos”
CORTAZAR, JULIO

“You stand for nothing. You respect nobody. The music you dance to is devoid of beauty, its lyrics empty of humor or cleverness.”
David Klass, You Don't Know Me
