Oscar Wilde famously noted, “No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.” Yet, the inverse of this remark strikes me as equally, if not more, significant. That is, no object is so ugly that, under certain conditions, it will not look beautiful.

"We're all in this alone." Lily Tomlin

“When you stop to examine the way in which words are formed and uttered, our sentences are hard put to it to survive the disaster of their slobbery origins.” Louis-Ferdinand Celine

"...perhaps it's done already, perhaps they have said me already, perhaps they have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, it will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on." Samuel Beckett
