“Still today, I cannot cross the threshold of a teaching institution without physical symptoms, in my chest and my stomach, of discomfort or anxiety. And yet I have never left school.”

“Therefore we will not listen to the source itself in order to learn what it is or what it means, but rather to the turns of speech, the allegories, figures, metaphors, as you will, into which the source has deviated, in order to lose it or rediscover it—which always amounts to the same.”

“You know, I've struggled with a certain amount of social anxiety throughout my life, and the best tool that I feel like one could have when they're dealing with something like that is just to ask questions. Just don't stop asking questions. Because then you don't have to talk about yourself as much.”

“My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice.”
