    “I’ve run out of everything: my wife, the house, an adopted child, a successful job… everything except a few bad habits I could not get rid of.” “I know a man who was blind. When he was nearly 40 years old he had an operation and regained his sight. At first he was elated, really high. Faces, colors, landscapes. But then everything began to change. The world was much poorer than he imagined. No one ever told him how much dirt there was. How much ugliness. He noticed ugliness everywhere. When he was blind he used to cross the street alone with a stick. After he ragained his sight he became afraid. He began to live in darkness. He never left his room. After three years he killed himself.What the fuck are you doing here with me?”

    performed by Maurice Ravel

    “He wrote me: I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst?” “Brooding at the end of the world on my island of Sal in the company of my prancing dogs I remember that month of January in Tokyo, or rather I remember the images I filmed of the month of January in Tokyo. They have substituted themselves for my memory. They are my memory. I wonder how people remember things who don’t film, don’t photograph, don’t tape. How has mankind managed to remember? I know: it wrote the Bible. The new Bible will be an eternal magnetic tape of a time that will have to reread itself constantly just to know it existed.”
