I used to think things were the way they are for a reason, that there was some hidden meaning. I used to think that this meaning governed the way the world was. But it's an illusion to think that there are good and bad reasons. Grammar is a lie to make us think that what we say is connected by a logic that you'll find if you study it, a lie that gone on for centuries. Because I now know that life just lurches between stability and instability and doesn't obey any law.

Delphine de ViganBefore I met No I thought that violence meant shouting and hitting and war and blood. Now I know that there can also be violence in silence and that itโs sometimes invisible to the naked eye. Thereโs violence in the time that conceals wounds, the relentless succession of days, the impossibility of turning back the clock. Violence is what escapes us. Itโs silent and hidden. Violence is what remains inexplicable, what stays forever opaque.
