the strange largesse of not knowing (12 December 2016)


Markus Raetz, Oui/Non, 2001

Everything in the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born.

Putting my hand in someone else’s has always been my definition of happiness ...
- Clarice Lispector 

Will Yackulic, title not known, 2012

I do not know much. But there are certain advantages in not knowing. Like virgin territory, the mind is free of preconceptions. Everything I do not know forms the greater part of me: This is my largesse. And with this I understand everything. The things I do not know constitute my truth.
- Clarice Lispector

William and Frederick Langenheim, daguerrotype Solar eclipse, 1854


Do you ever suddenly find it strange to be yourself?
- Clarice Lispector
