“We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are.  Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case, but rather the endlessly astonishing synthesis of the contradictions of everyday life.” — Eduardo Galeano

“Authenticity depends entirely on being faithful to the essential ambiguity of experience” 
—John Berger
