/// You'll always be the one I look for in a crowd.

Some say that art helps man to know the world like any other intellectual activity. I don't believe in this possibility of knowing, I am almost an agnostic. Knowledge distracts us from our main purpose in life. The more we know, getting deeper our horizon becomes narrower. Art enriches man's own spiritual capabilities, and he can then rise above himself.

― Andrei Tarkovsky

sqq. *

Mit ihr warst du in bösen Lagen,
auf einer Spur 'ne Spur zu nah ...

sqq. *

/// Once you need less, you will have more.

A writer ― and, I believe, generally all persons ― must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.

― Jorge Luis Borges
