Robin Isely, Hans Memling - Man of Sorrows c. 1480.

Bruce Davidson, Brooklyn Gang (1959)

I never thought anything of myself. If you said something about me, I had to fight you. And there were many times that people said things about me that hurt my feelings, but I didn’t know how to do anything but either curse at you or fight, because that was my only means of defense at that particular time.

What is real? How do you define ‘real’? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

The Matrix (1999), dir. Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski

Intellettuale - Fabio Mauri (1975)

L’opera è sempre liberazione e l’opera a contenuto politico o ideologico è doppiamente liberazione, perché dà per conosciuti, se non addirittura per risolti, i problemi che ha affrontato. Ma in questa stazione ciò di cui si è creduto di sbarazzarsi, viene sadicamente ributtato sull’autore.

Dear Milena,

I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say: “Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.” Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don't have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much.

― Franz Kafka
