book childhood world
I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
taken hands world
For I desired, as Youth does, to be taken by the hand and hurled into the world.
self world rooms
When I'm on my own with my camera, taking these pictures, it feels as if I am in a room of my own, a self-contained world.
philosophy shapes world
These are the times, the times of our own, these are the shapes the world we formed.
fashion clothes world
I know fashion is a material thing, but we live in a material world and I love clothes.

black forests world
We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world.
