#otherness

"To become a true global citizen, one must abandon all notions of 'otherness' and instead embrace 'togetherness'."

"Bring something incomprehensible into the world!"

"In the ordinary jumble of my literary drawer, I sometimes find texts I wrote ten, fifteen, or even more years ago. And many of them seem to me written by a stranger: I simply do not recognize myself in them. There was a person who wrote them, and it was I. I experienced them, but it was in another life, from which I just woke up, as if from someone else's dream."
