In London earlier this year, Harry was pictured wearing an Alain de Botton hoodie which was designed by Harry himself. In his December interview with Vogue, Harry explains how he created this hoodie: ‘Styles pulled two photos of de Botton—one of him with crossed arms, leaning up against a bookcase; another sees a more youthful de Botton (the author lost his hair at 20)—and printed them side-by-side in black-and-white on a black cotton hoodie.’

birinin sizden vazgeçmesinin nedeni, aslında sizi onun nazarında farklı bir yere koyan kişisel imgenizi öldürmenizdir. yani sizi tahayyül ettiği karakterden uzaklaşmanız, sizi bir zamanlar vazgeçilmez kılan şeyi kendi elinizle öldürmenizdir.

“Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.”—Alain de Botton, Essays in Love
The unknown carries with it a mirror of all our deepest, most inexpressible wishes. The unknown is the fatal proposition that a face seen across the room will always hold out to the known […] Longing cannot indefinitely direct itself at those we know, for their qualities are charted and therefore lack the mystery longing demands. A face seen for a few moments or hours only then to disappear for ever is the necessary catalyst for dreams that cannot be formulated, a desire that seems as indefinable as it is unquenchable.
Alain de Botton, from ‘Essays in Love’
The desire is that I be loved even if I lost everything: leaving nothing but ‘me’, this mysterious ‘me’ taken to be the self at its weakest, most vulnerable point. Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but Do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test. Do you love me stripped of everything that might be lost, for only the things I will have forever?
- Alain de Botton, Essays on Love.
