About Me

"I believe only in differences and not in uniformity. First of all, because differences are the roots without which the tree of liberty, the sap of creation and of civilization, dries up."- Albert Camus

My Interests

I imagine maybe a white room with Yanni’s greatest hits on loop.

I'd like to meet:

"The world needs real dialogue, that falsehood is just as much the opposite of dialogue as is silence, and that the only possible dialogue is the kind between people who remain what they are and speak their minds."
- Albert Camus
