“I lean over you, your equal, offering you a mirror for your perfect nothingness, for your shadows which are neither light nor absence of light, for this void which contemplates. To all that which you are, and, for our language, are not, I add a consciousness. I make you experience your supreme identity as a relationship, I name you and define you. You become a delicious passivity.”
― Maurice Blanchot, Thomas the Obscure

“The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.”
― Walter Benjamin
