Elena Ferrante
“she theorized that a woman without love for her origins is lost.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

Karen Barad
“The void is a spectral realm; not even nothing can be free of ghosts.”
Karen Barad

Rosi Braidotti
“Life is desire which essentially aims at expressing itself and consequently runs on entropic energy: it reaches its aim and then dissolves, like salmon swimming upstream to procreate and then die. The wish to die can consequently be seen as the counterpart and as another expression of the desire to live intensely. The corollary is more cheerful: not only is there no dialectical tension between Eros and Thanatos, but these two entities are really just one life-force that aims to reach its own fulfilment. Posthuman vital materialism displaces the boundaries between living and dying.”
Rosi Braidotti, The Posthuman

“Were it not for our momentum
The inertia of our actions
The constant inspiration of our habits
We could not continue
"The will is almost nothing," he said to himself.”
Robert Ashley

T.S. Eliot
“What might have been and and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened...”
T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton
