I do feel very worried for society if convincing someone to have sex is considered rape now. It's like charging a salesmen with theft because he talked you into buying a $10,000 car.


To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget
