Quotes by Andrea Scrima (?)

“How to go back in time: one would have to subtract everything that has come after, shed the skins that have accumulated since: peel them off one by one and forget them. To undo all that has occurred, to have found oneself in none of these situations, to lose entire parts of oneself: to forget. To disappear, to undo oneself. And when my mind carries me back, it is as another.How to go back in time: one would have to subtract everything that has come after, shed the skins that have accumulated since: peel them off one by one and forget them. To undo all that has occurred, to have found oneself in none of these situations, to lose entire parts of oneself: to forget. To disappear, to undo oneself. And when my mind carries me back, it is as another.”
