“Nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history.”

Each moment it has lived becomes a citation à l'ordre du jour — and that day is Judgement Day.

“Ever since I alone have been aware of what happens to me, nothing happens to me.”

Antonio Porchia (1885–1968) Italian Argentinian poet
