“There is no such thing as infinity, Norea: infinity is the surprise of limits. Someone realizes his impotence and then prolongs it beyond the image, in the idea, and infinity is born. The infinite is the pain of reason that assaults your body. Infinity does not exist, but the instant does: open, timeless, intense, dilated, solid; in it a gesture becomes eternal, Norea.”
