When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.
Elise Crombez in “Knee High", by Helmut Hewton for Vogue July (2003)
“The psychologist is afraid I imagine I know him, and feels debased by this fear. Thus he behaves towards me in a chilly and offhand manner, trying to mislead me about himself to gain ascendancy over me.”

—Daybreak, §303 (edited excerpt).
Jane Bown. Woodsman. 1950
Ernst Haas, New York, 1970,
Bodies are becoming like cities, their temporal coordinates transformed into spatial ones. In a poetic condensation, history has been replaced by geography, stories by maps, memories by scenarios. We no longer perceive ourselves as continuity but as location, or rather dislocation in the urban/suburban cosmos.

- Celeste Olalquiaga

Happy Christmas from bad times:
You are the Christmas of the outlaws,
Of those who laugh in disgrace,
Poor buggers who are betrayed,
And children of good race.
Saul Leiter, Christmas, 1950
