Where would I go if I could go, who would I be, if I could be, what would I say, if I had a voice?

About Me

"Take the risk. Believe what you see and hear. It's the pulse of every secret intimation you've ever felt around the edges of your life."---Don DeLillo

"Ah, ladies and gentlemen, a man lives a sad life when he cannot take anything or anyone seriously."---Milan Kundera

"I want the world of pulses, before destiny, I want the prenatal and anonymous night."---Helene Cixous

"I am not the sort of person who leaves others in peace."---Thomas Bernhard

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
