“She is like the ocean. Vast, deepless, and always so full of life. She is chaos itself, and mystery, as she belongs to no man and no land. Whenever she rages it means hurricanes and destruction but it is always so beautiful the way she is both life and death. She is like the ocean, and you’ll drown in her.”
— Sophia Carey
“I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it’s a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.”
— Andrei Tarkovsky
I am not kidding when I say I want to run away into the woods to live amongst the moss and all the woodland and fairytale creatures.
