“Your addiction to thinking will come back to haunt you.”
― Natsume Sōseki, Light and Darkness

“To perceive the aura of an object we look at means to invest it with the ability to look at us in return.”
― Walter Benjamin, Baudelaire

“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
