“The soul is the form of the body, but not as the shape of a statue is formatio et terminatio materiae, for form does not exist apart from material. There is no whiteness without a white object.

Possibly also because of the colour of your skin and the colour of your passport.”

“Go to lots of interviews, at least one a month even when you don't need a job, to keep in training for when you do.”
