Jean-Louis Trintignant in “Il conformista” (The Conformist) | dir. Bernardo Bertolucci,1970 

“You can lose your way groping among the shadows of the past. It’s frightening how many people and things there are in a man’s past that have stopped moving. The living people we’ve lost in the crypts of time sleep so soundly side by side with the dead that the same darkness envelops them all.As we grow older, we no longer know whom to awaken, the living or the dead.”

— Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Journey to the End of the Night

Even in our deepest, most lasting friendships, we never speak as openly as when we face a blank page and address a reader we do not know.

— Michel Houellebecq
