Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
Write! What? Take to the wind, take to writing, form one body with the letters. Live! Risk: those who risk nothing gain nothing, risk and you no longer risk anything.

In order to be an icon, a few times you need to be bold. How do I define boldness? Stepping outside of your comfort zone.

If we speak and try to give an account from this place, we will not be irresponsible, or, if we are, we will surely be forgiven.
