James. James Oscco Anamaría, repito tu nombre varias veces. Como una oración lo repito al comenzar mi jornada y le digo a Dios, a los amigos y a mi mismo, quizá para poder empezar a creerlo, que nunca jamás estuviste tan vivo.

Gregory Orr, quoted by Sam Hamill at Poets Against War

Damien Hirst, the world's most famous living artist, Observer UK 19.Feb.06
