Why am I trying to become what I don’t want to be … when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am.

If I have to be alone I want to be by myself.

Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.

An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted.
