Roland Barthes
“By weeping, I want to impress someone, to bring pressure to bear upon someone...I make myself cry in order to prove to myself that my grief is not an illusion; tears are signs, not expressions. By my tears, I tell a story, I produce a myth of grief, and henceforth I adjust myself to it: I can live with it, because, by weeping, I give myself an emphatic interlocutor who receives the *truest* of messages, that of my body, not that of my speech: *Words, what are they? One tear will say more than all of them*”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Zygmunt Bauman
“Consuming life cannot be other than a life of rapid learning, but it also needs to be a life of swift forgetting.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Consuming Life

Roland Barthes
“And, long after the amorous relation is allayed, I keep the habit of hallucinating the being I have loved: sometimes I am still in anxiety over a telephone call that is late, and no matter who is on the line, I imagine I recognize the voice I once loved: I am an amputee who still feels pain in his missing leg.”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
tags: grief, love

Zygmunt Bauman
“Like the phoenix, socialism is reborn from every pile of ashes left day in, day out, by burnt-out human dreams and charred hopes.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Modernity

John Berger
“the very basic theme of poetry is that of time passing, the very basic theme of painting is that of the moment made permanent.”
John Berger, Portraits: John Berger on Artists
