private public life
« When I travel through my room, I rarely follow a straight line, I go from the table towards a picture hanging in a corner, from there I only want to encounter the door, when I begin it is always my intention to get there, but then I meet my armchair en route and I don’t think twice and settle down in it without further ado » Xavier De Maistre, Voyage autour de ma chambre
