93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames,

we are all just stars that have people names.

She entered the story knowing she would emerge from it feeling she had been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that stretched back twenty years, her body full of sentences and moments, as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams.

– Michael Ondaatje – The English Patient

And what delights can equal those

that stir the spirit’s inner deeps,

when one that loves but knows not, reaps a truth from one that loves and knows?

– Alfred Tennyson – In Memoriam

Ph : Settimio Benedusi

How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination!
In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours;
not a single creature resists us,
we devastate the world,
we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate.
The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
– Marquis de Sade – Les Prosperites du Vice

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
