Komm! Ins Offene, Freund!

"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real ?"

"Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again."

–Frank O'Hara, from The Collected Poems;

"Mayakovsky"

What would you like to tell young people?

"I don't know... I think I'd like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn't mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn't grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."

“Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling”
