“But most of us now lead lives on social media that are more performance based than we ever could have imagined even a decade ago, and thanks to this burgeoning cult of likability, in a sense, we’ve all become actors. We’ve had to rethink the means with which to express our feelings and thoughts and ideas and opinions in the void created by a corporate culture that is forever trying to silence us by sucking up everything human and contradictory and real with its assigned rule book on how to behave. We seem to have entered precariously into a kind of totalitarianism that actually abhors free speech and punishes people for revealing their true selves. In other words: the actor’s dream.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, White

“Segue perdida no bosque, de noite, pero agora é un bosque pixelado. A curuxa óllaa fixamente, con brillante ollar, sobre a póla dunha árbore. O caribú semella ollala tamén, fixamente, sen ollos. Outro animal bebe dun lago. C’est la pleine lune. As estrelas son cadrados e a neve cae como praga de cruces. A súa cabeza séntese copa da árbore e, o seu corpo, arbre. As árbores ao lonxe asemellan lapas. Morre alí e renace no dormitorio, mais ce n’était ni un rêve ni un cauchemar.”
― Alexandre Alphonse, Femme Derrière la Vitre

“Es mi rencor por ti un castillo de naipes
