“Life is, in itself and forever, shipwreck. To be shipwrecked is not to drown. The poor human being, feeling himself sinking into the abyss, moves his arms to keep afloat. This movement of the arms which is his reaction against his own destruction is culture - a swimming stroke...”
Raf Simons

N.L. Shompole
“There is a shipwreck somewhere inside me”
