Quote by Vincent Delecroix

“Who is here on the shore? Who is watching this shipwreck from the mainland? Is it really just me, no one else? That would suit everyone, but don’t you believe it: I am not here alone on the shore; I’m not alone watching this unending ‘drama at sea’ from a safe distance, night after night.”

“Sugar and Order I got one yellow, and one brown— though I think the brown was meant to be purple. Seven green. Three red. Four orange. I line them up, neat and bright— a little world of sugar and order. I’ll start with the yellow, and the brown-purple too. They don’t really fit the pattern, you know? Just cleaning up the set. Four greens next, and one orange— just enough to balance the rest. Now I’ve got threes. Three greens. Three reds. Three oranges. Perfect. Even. Neat. No yellow. No brown. The colors look good together now. Don’t you think? It’s easier on the eyes. Simpler. Cleaner. Just organizing. Just tidying up the mess. But the bowl feels lighter, somehow smaller, and the sweetness tastes a little—off. I only wanted balance, but somehow everything’s the same color now. And it doesn’t taste like candy anymore.”

“So long as we continue to put mortal men on thrones and hail them as gods, sacrifice our lives to their legacies, history will repeat itself. Just as the ocean tides ebb and flow beneath the moon, empires will rise and collapse, wars will start and cease, and the rest of us will be left to struggle against the currents. If only I had known earlier.”

“Contrary to 19th century wisdom, it’s not just language that separates us from animals—it’s story. Dolphins communicate. Trees communicate. But only humans tell stories.”
