Home is the first grave

DON'T GET ATTACHED.

When you have tasted abandonment, you know when it's coming. You can smell it in the air.

WAS THE USE OF FORCE NECESSARY IN COMPLETING YOUR OBJECTIVES ?

Maybe in a parallel universe I wouldn't have betrayed myself so poetically.

REST IS RESISTANCE

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and happy life.

Nanna : Disaster Master (music video)

'The monster is difference made flesh, come to dwell among us. In its function as dialectical Other or third-term supplement, the monster is an incorporation of the Outside, the Beyond -of all those loci that are rhetorically placed as distant and distinct but originate Within. Any kind of alterity can be inscribed across (constructed through) the monstrous body, but for the most part monstrous difference tends to be cultural, political, racial, economic, sexual.' - Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, “monster culture (seven theses)"

'I wept and wept. I had come to believe that if I really wanted something badly enough, the very act of my wanting it was an assurance that I would not get it.' - Audre Lorde, from "Zami: A New Spelling of my Name," published c. 1982
