And yet, and yet … Denying temporal succession, denying the self, denying the astronomical universe, are apparent desperations and secret consolations.
Our destiny is not frightful by being unreal; it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad.
Time is the substance I am made of.
Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges.
excerpt from Essay : “A New Refutation of Time,” 1946

Body.
The orgasm is simply when the body does take over.

Love between man and man is impossible
because there must not be sexual intercourse
and friendship between man and woman is impossible
because there must be sexual intercourse.
James Joyce

poets die and come back to life.
Dali invented a very beautiful science: Phoenixology. that means people often die in order to be reborn. this is the phoenix renaissance. it burns in order to turn into ashes, which in their own term change back into the phoenix.
in my film, the flower dies resurrected and dies again. this is Minerva goddess of reason who sees that it is a reborn flower and she will refuse it.

there is a state of slumber that is not sleep. and one sort of truth that comes out of us and which is not a dream not a reverie.
the mouth’s guard is asleep, and words emerge that one would otherwise not allow to emerge.
we are workers of a shadow that suits us but escapes us.
Jean Cocteau

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art -
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors -
No - yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever - or else swoon to death.
John Keats
Every experience
is a
paradox
in that it means to be absolute,
and yet
is relative ;
in that it somehow always goes beyond itself,
and yet
never
escapes itself.
T. S. Eliot
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals, and 362 to
heterosexuals. Thisdoesn’t mean God doesn’t love heterosexuals,
it’s just that they need more supervision.

The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the source of all true science. He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein
When someone is impatient and says, “I haven’t got all day,” I always wonder,
How can that be? How can you not have all day?
George Carlin
The Surrealist wanted to “change life”, as Arthur Rimbaud put it. But they understood that to change ways of being, one had first to change ways of seeing. “It is through the power of images, that, in time, real revolutions may well be brought about,” said Breton.
In reinventing the process of creation, the Surrealists introduced new ways of producing visual form, and in their exploitation of the modern image, they brought about a profound transformation in systems of representation.
