I am a mere breath of air; a formless thought that thinks of you. - Jean-Paul Sartre

Everything is both a trap and a display; the secret reality of the object is what the Other makes of it.

I get up. There is a white hole in the wall, a mirror. It is a trap. I know I am going to let myself be caught in it. I have. The grey thing appears in the mirror. I go over and look at it, I can no longer get away. It is the reflection of my face. Often in these lost days I study it. I can understand nothing of this face. The faces of others have some sense, some direction. Not mine. I cannot even decide whether it is handsome or ugly. I think it is ugly because I have been told so. But it doesn't strike me. At heart, I am even shocked that anyone can attribute qualities of this kind to it, as if you called a clod of earth or a block of stone beautiful or ugly.

Yapayalnızım, ama kentin üzerine yürüyen bir ordu gibiyim.
