Art need no longer be an account of past sensations.
It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations.
It is a question of producing ourselves,
not things that enslave us.

― Guy Debord, Internationale Situationist
By my existence
I am nothing more than
an empty place,
an outline,
that is reserved within being in general.
Given with it,
though,
is the duty to fill in this
empty place.
That is my life.
― Georg Simmel, The View of Life: Four Metaphysical Essays
The pure present
is an ungraspable advance
of the past
devouring the
future.
In truth all sensation is already memory.
― Henri Bergson
