" What does it mean, to live in a room? Is to live in a place to take possession of it? What does taking possession of a place mean? .. Is it when you've put your three pairs of socks to soak in the pink plastic bowl?... Is it when you've experienced there the throes of anticipation, or the exaltations of passion, or the torments of a toothache?"
Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, Georges Perec
