“I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.”
― Pietro Aretino

“Everyone is the other and no one is himself.”
― Martin Heidegger, Being and Time

“All my analyses are against the idea of universal necessities in human existence. They show the arbitrariness of institutions and show which space of freedom we can still enjoy and how many changes can still be made.”
― Michel Foucault, Technologies of the Self: A Seminar with Michel Foucault

“I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it? What is true for writing and for a love relationship is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don't know what will be the end.”
