“Most of us carry around the extravagant hope that the world can at least catch a glimpse of what we consider to be our true face. We can't help harbouring the desire that past achievements and former incarnations still reveal some glimpse of themselves on our person. That people might be able to read the history of a face and not just its live bulletins.”
Glenn Haybittle, Scorched Earth

Glenn Haybittle
“Life cannot be experienced deeply without kindness, just as life cannot be experienced deeply without art.”

“Memory is both the best and cruellest friend we will ever have.”
