“It’s difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you. No-one really feels self-confident deep down because it’s an artificial idea. Really, people aren’t that worried about what you’re doing or what you’re saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously. You must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.”
— Russell Brand

To combat
the resistances of language you must keep talking my analyst tells me. But to combat the swaying silence of a winter night in Nono’s kitchen under the clandestine glare of the forty-watt bulb that is looped up over the red-and-white checked oilcloth on the table by a knotted cord and seems to be always slightly (like leaves on a keen and distant mountainside) vibrating through everything else in the world is still, talk is not it.
