“I feel like there’s something terrible and wonderful and amazing that’s just beyond my grasp. I have dreams about it. I do dream, by the way. It hovers over me at odd moments. And then it’s gone. I feel like I’m always on the brink of something that never arrives. I want to either have it or be free of it.”

- Michael Cunningham, Specimen Days (via larmoyante)

THOUGHTS ON NOTHINGNESS

Quello che è decto niente, si ritrova solo nel tempo e nelle parole. Nel tempo si trova infra ‘l preterito e ‘l futuro e nulla ritiene del presente, e così infra le parole delle cosa che si dicano che non sono o che sono impossibile.

What is called Nothingness is found only in time and in words. In time it stands between the past and future and has no existence in the present; and thus in words it is one of the things of which you say: They are not, or they are impossible.

[ NOTE: Part of a folio of thought variations on the state of Nothingness, all crossed out… ]
