You think that just because it's already happened, the past is finished and unchangeable? Oh no, the past is cloaked in multicolored taffeta and every time we look at it we see a different hue.

― Milan Kundera, Life is Elsewhere. Translated by Peter Kussi. (Alfred A. Knopf, 1974)

“To love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.”

— Carl Gustav Jung, Zarathustra Seminars

I don’t think of life as a fight. Or a climb.

“You could be happier. Happier on a grander scale.” “Listen to you. Yesterday I was happy with my beach and my one painting. You’re saying I’ll be happier with no beach and six paintings.” ... “You could have done much more.” “Well, I didn’t, and that’s why I’m alive and content.” She took the inference:...“You’re saying you’re happier than me,” she said. “I’m saying you don’t seem content.” “So contentment is all? That’s it? What the fuck is contentment? The only goal is contentment?” “There are many faiths that say so.” “Which ones?” “I can’t remember. It sounded good,” he said, and she laughed... “This isn’t what I want,” he said. “I don’t want to argue. I don’t think of life as a fight. Or a climb."

There is so much violence in reconstruction. I have to participate. I am busy practising my new hobby of watching me become someone else. I am building what I cannot break.

“Her eyes are extraordinarily pure and beautiful, but she has the cold quality of a mermaid. I am sure you would like her. She scares me to death.”
