Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating Picture Quote #1

I always live in the present. The future I can’t know. The past I no longer have Picture Quote #1

Silence emerges from the sound of rain and spreads in a crescendo of gray monotony over the narrow street I contemplate. I’m sleeping while awake, standing by the window, leaning against it as against everything. I search in myself for the sensations I feel before these falling threads of darkly luminous water that stand out from the grimy building facades and especially from the open windows. And I don’t know what I feel or what I want to feel. I don’t know what to think or where I am Picture Quote #1
