I like bright colours but wear mostly black. Music, perfume, and tea are staples of my life.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
— Michel Foucault
When we have found all the meanings and lost all the mysteries, we will be alone, on an empty shore.
— Septimus Hodge in Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia
Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman’s entire but decisive advantage. Through his passion nature has given man into woman’s hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the end is not wise.
— Venus in Furs by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch
