Marguerite Duras.Agnes Martin

你找不到孤獨,你創造它。孤獨是自生自長的。我創造了它。因為我決定應該在那裡獨自一人,獨自一人來寫書。事情就是這樣。我獨自待在這座房子裡。我將自己關閉起來--當然我也害怕。後來我愛上了這房子。它成了寫作之家。
~<寫作>,Marguerite Duras,桂裕芳譯,上海譯文出版:2005

We have been very strenuously conditioned against solitude. To be alone is considered to be a grievous and dangerous condition. So I beg you to recall in detail any times when you were alone and discover your exact response at those times.

I suggest to artists that you take every opportunity of being alone, that you give up having pets and unnecessary companions.

You will find the fear that we have been taught is not just one fear but many different fears.

When you discover what they are they will be overcome.

~Writings, Agnes Martin, Cantz: 1991
