Chris Marker
“Nothing distinguishes memories from ordinary moments, only later do they make themselves known, from their scars.”
Chris Marker

Édouard Louis
“What we call history is nothing but the story of the same emotions, the same joys, reproduced across bodies and time”
Édouard Louis, Qui a tué mon père

George Saunders
“These days, it’s easy to feel that we’ve fallen out of connection with one another and with the earth and with reason and with love. I mean: we have. But to read, to write, is to say that we still believe in, at least, the possibility of connection.”
George Saunders, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain

Rick Rubin
“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Iain Reid
“Why do people stay together"? They stay together because it's expected, because it's what they know. They try to make it work, to endure it, and end up living under some kind of spiritual anesthetic. They go on, but they are numb. There is nothing worse than to live your life this way. Detached, but abiding. It's immoral.”
Iain Reid, Foe
