I walk around the world like a ghost, and sometimes I question whether I even exist. Whether I've ever existed at all.
Paul AusterThe pictures do not lie, but neither do they tell the whole story. They are merely a record of time passing, the outward evidence.
Paul AusterFor a man who finds life tolerable only by staying on the surface of himself, it is natural to be satisfied with offering no more than his surface to others. There are few demands to be met, and no commitment is required. Marriage, on the other hand, closes the door. Your existence is confined to a narrow space in which you are constantly forced to reveal yourself – and therefore, constantly obliged to look into yourself, to examine your own depths.
