“I had no relationship to the fashion world whatsoever. I’d never even seen a fashion magazine. I grew up without a television and just wasn’t very connected to pop culture in that way. I was like Alice in Wonderland, I mean I had no reference point for anything and I was suddenly in Paris on catwalks for designers that I could barely even pronounce their names.”
— Shalom Harlow in Alexander Wang’s Confessional

Sometimes my doctors tell me that I understand something in a poem that I haven’t integrated into my life. In fact, I may be concealing it from myself, while revealing it to the readers.
Why has the pleasure of slowness disappeared? Ah, where have they gone, the amblers of yesteryear? Where have they gone, those loafing heroes of folk song, those vagabonds who roam from one mill to another and bed down under the stars?
— Milan Kundera, Slowness
(…) e già non sai né pensi
quanta piaga m’apristi in mezzo al petto.
