heidisaman: “If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes. If we opened me up, we’d find beaches…Memory is like sand in my hand. I keep some and some is going. The beaches are the thread, and it’s true that I’ve been on beaches all my life. I know that if I need the ideal place, it’s the perfect one for me.

It’s the pleasure of watching the beach, which means watching the sky and the sea, and if you go at a different time, it can be different light and weather, it can be white or it can be flat. I love it when it’s almost flat. It’s so pure that it’s like the beginning of the world. And it allows me, as a metaphor, to believe that I was always on the beach in my mind.”– Agnes VardaStill from The Beaches of Agnes (2008, dir. Agnes Varda) -- source link
