“Twilight was reaching its climax, no doubt: the last fires of the sun, like a violent dermatitis, ruched and ravined the horizon, giving it blisters, edema, and creases — the yellows, oranges, turquoise, ocher, reddish purples, crimsons, and browns became more vivid as the star descended, becoming bruises, scales, scabs, clots, and even bleeding eviscerations, as though the sky were reproducing the painful sequence of it's birth, what psychoanalysts call repetition compulsion.”
Eric Laurrent from "Do Not Touch"

Ian Kelly
“He keeps us waiting rather than wishing for him. I feel it a matter of perfect indifference whether he arrives at any moment or not at all.” — Lady Harriet Cavendish of George Beau Brummell”
Ian Kelly, Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Man of Style

Patti Smith
“I preferred an artist who transformed his time, not mirrored it." - reference to Andy Warhol”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Lucian Freud
“When I'm painting people in clothes I'm always thinking very much of naked people, or animals dressed.”
Lucian Freud

Klaus Mann
“Ruhe gibt es nicht, bis zum Schluss. Und dann? Auch am Schluss steht noch ein Fragezeichen.
(There is no peace until the end and even then there would still be a question mark.)”
Klaus Mann, Der Wendepunkt
