Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.
E.E. Cummings
I haven’t found myself with more friends: life has shown me more and more clearly how fulfillingly my duty is tied to the terrible condition of solitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I don’t fear commitment. I fear wasting my time.

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.

THIS IS NOT EROTIC: KAORUKO’S GIRL FRIENDS’ BLISS
Japan’s former teen pop star Kaoruko’s large scale paintings glimpse into the complex worlds of female friendships and the identity of the contemporary Japanese woman. Kaoruko strips her girls down to their underwear… not to titillate you, but to establish intimacy that works against traditional culture’s moratorium on such violations of “pristine modesty.”
Combining stylistic allusions to the Ukiyo-e ‘floating world’ prints of the Edo period and the modern private domestic activity — exercise, hair braiding, foot stroking, joint crawling… Stop gawking, perverts. “Aromako,” Kaoruko, Nov 17 – Jan 7, Mike Weiss Gallery, NYC
