Note du spécialiste

'[Love] seems so difficult to sustain. Love is realistic; desire is unrealistic. It's easier to blindfold yourself, change your girlfriend every 6 months and not look in the mirror than to live with someone forever and see change. Although Im tired of the word Love, it's like 'God'. Instead of saying 'I love you' , I want to say, 'I'm delighted you're alive' (D. Hirst quoted in Damien Hirst: No Sense of Absolute Corruption, exh. cat., London, 1996, pp. 116-117).
