“...if you do not plunder the past, the absence feeds on you”
“Absence feeds affection.”
“You can't go feeding your hate on the past, it's not natural.”
“If you plunder from west to east you are great like Alexander. if you do the same from east to west you are a barbarian like Chengiz.”
“In the absence of the life you want, what will you do with the life you have?”
“I notice your absence. I notice your non presence and reflect on the time you were present, in the present, which is obviously in the past.”
