Quote by Viv Albertine

“After so long worrying and being fearful, living by the sea and running is giving me the mental space to think creatively again for the first time in years. With the salty wind on my face, feet pounding on the shingle, Kate Bush, The Hounds of Love , on my iPod, new thoughts enter my head. What do I think about that architecture? as I run past a white modernist house: ‘I like the shape of the house but the windows are too small.’ What do I think of the asymmetrical stairs, the sculptures in the garden?”

“Music was already more than music. It was a door that opened for three minutes. Sometimes way longer. In the forbidden world there was no judgment. Only your own thoughts and secret desires, slashing through the atmosphere. And when the song was over, the door clanged shut again. There was no choice but to scramble back to the beginning. Sometimes I would listen to one song twenty or thirty times in a row. There had to be other people like me. I just hadn't met them yet.”

“The bile came again, sudden and furious. He curled up on the floor around the chamber pot, gagging and heaving until his insides hurt. Were When it had passed he felt better. He lay there for nearly an hour without moving, his eyes open but un- focused. He got up and cleaned himself again. He wan- dered around his room for a few moments, unsure of what he wanted to do. Aimless, always aimless. It was still early, just after midnight. Sleep would not come again, not without the bottle. He looked at it on the dresser and reached for it but then stopped. The thought of more made him nauseous. Extraordinary. Even I have had enough. He stopped in front of the mantel, where”

“Elle considérait la vie comme une collection de jours identiques. Pour elle, l'existence se composait de jours, et chacun de ces jours était comme un ruban qui bouclait sur lui-même, comme une chaîne de vélo au mouvement constant sur les plateaux dentés. Un déclic ... On avait changé la vitesse, les jours s'étaient légèrement altérés, mais leur écoulement restait constant, répétitif, et c'était dans cette monotonie que résidait le sens de la vie ...”

“p.360 - Suffit-il de manquer la messe un dimanche, ou de mâcher l'hostie de la communion, de voler une miche de pain, ou de séduire la femme de son voisin ? - Non, ai-je répondu en secouant la tête, non. - -- Mais s'il n'y a pas d'hierarchie dans le mal, alors un seul péché suffit. C'est bien ce que vous dites, non ? Que Dieu existe, et... - je ne sais pas si Dieu existe. Et pour ceux que j'en ai vus, je dirais qu'il n'existe pas. - Alors, aucun péché n'a d'importance, aucun péché ne peut mener au mal. - C'est faux. Car si Dieu n'existe pas, cela signifie que nous sommes les créatures les plus douées de conscience de tout l'univers. Nous seuls comprenons le passage du temps et la valeur de chaque minute d'une vie humaine. Et le mal, le mal véritable, s'est doté d'une seule vie humaine. Qu'un homme meure demain, après-demain, ou plus tard encore, cela ne change rien. Car si Dieu n'existe pas, alors cette vie, la moindre des secondes qui la compose, représente tout ce que nous possédons.”

“Au peu d’expériences que j’avais faites jusqu’à présent sur le chemin de moi-même, s’ajouta celle-ci : la contemplation des formes étranges, confuses, irrationnelles de la nature fait naître en nous le sentiment de l’harmonie qui existe entre notre âme et la volonté qui laissa ces formes se créer. Bientôt, nous sommes tentés de les prendre pour nos propres caprices, pour nos propres créations. Nous voyons s’effacer et disparaître les limites qui nous séparent de la nature, et nous parvenons alors à l’état dans lequel nous ne savons plus si les images imprimées sur notre rétine proviennent d’impressions extérieures ou intérieures. C’est alors que nous découvrons, le plus facilement et le plus simplement, combien nous sommes créateurs, combien notre âme participe à la création perpétuelle de l’univers.”
