walden: diaries, notes and sketches

(From ‘My Mother Laughs’, Chantal Akerman, Silver Press, 2019, tr. Daniella Shreir)

“And there were other girls who were odd ones too and that was how it was. We loved each other and that was that. I was 18 in May 1968 and it seemed as though my style was becoming popular and that everything was going back to normal, if I dare use the word…” 🧡

“I really don’t like the word normal. I prefer the word abnormal but only just, because in the word abnormal you can still hear the word normal and that’s a word I really don't want to hear.”

“I always hung around in the street after school because of love. Love makes you hang around”

Twin Peaks, 1990, dir. Diane Keaton
