Some of us are always in trouble, under suspicion. It doesn’t matter which way we go. It’s all the same

Day/Page/Sketch #437
We die in proportion of the untold secrets we throw around us. The fuller that black box is, the less salvation we get. Put the case that our black box never really gets completely empty.

I admit nothing. I cannot express the essence of what cannot be possessed. Poetry doesn’t stop decay, it exacerbates it.
Day/Page/Sketch #435
We label things and people out of desperation and self-doubt. We have to have a formula to explain our thoughts and feelings. We live bereaved lives.
Day/Page/Sketch #434
We naively feel worthy of some little confidence from others in return of the little confidence we give them. We should rather swallow that confidence with vice and blood, because there is no logic in that non-existent exchange. Act at your own risk.

When you speak, you give away your secrets. Everybody speaks. We speak more now than ever before. Not only that, we want to speak louder than everyone else. We want to be the chatterbox queen and king. When you speak, you stop being an artist.

Let’s conjugate Fate: I was, I am, I will… How contemptuous. Enduring existence is such a wearing occupation, such an impractical career. Everybody should know their own business.

Everything decays at every moment. Emotions, thoughts, ideas, not just the palpable. The rays of romanticism that long surround us are everything but permanent. They dissolute insipidly in the darkness.

When we lose someone, the smallest things bring to our mind the memory of the tragedy, and they also remind us that nothing protects existence. Everything is irreversible and irrevocable.

When I was a kid no one told me that some people show love by tearing the people they love down. I would have thought then that it was a ridiculous idea, until I started finding out that it’s not an exception. A lot of people understand love exclusively when they make the people they love suffer. It’s disgusting.

The moment you look at a painting and you feel that painting is you, although you can’t really put it into words because you are human and not everything human can be put into words.
Day/Page/Sketch #426
Everything repeats itself in this Universe. Chaos becomes a dull routine. We drag on, in vain, invalidating our dreams, loathing everything and idolizing life. We watch beauty rot before our eyes, and resentfulness blossoms.
Day/Page/Sketch #425
We are second-hand people. We live on what we are told. There is nothing new in us.
Day/Page/Sketch #424
Yearning for those perfect days to part with things, people, possessions or ideas that I no longer want. Every vestige of phantom air vanishes and gives way with a solemn voice to a new vivacity. Forgive yourself, numerous times.
