"Son corps a une memoire mais sa memoire n'a pas de corps; vivant chaque jours a travers sa perte en s'integrant au present, futur.”
Translation: Her body has memory but her memory has no body; living daily through the loss and folding into the present, future.

"Son corps et votre environment. Son apparence n'est qu'une illusion. Elle n'existe que par des mouvements dirigés et comme alignements temporaires que pour disparaitre et reapparaitre avant que votre regard vous revient.”
Translation: Her body is your environment. Her physical form is an illusion. She exists as directional flows and temporary alignments only to disappear and reappear before thy gaze returns to thee.
