Italo Calvino
“If one wanted to depict the whole thing graphically, every episode, with its climax, would require a three-dimensional, or, rather, no model: every experience is unrepeatable. What makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that within both of them times and spaces open, different from measurable time and space.”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler

Arno Schmidt
“A decent human being is ashamed at being somebody's boss!”
Arno Schmidt, Scenes from the Life of a Faun: A Short Novel

Marcel Proust
“Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”
Marcel Proust

Guy Debord
“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea. ”
Guy Debord

Marcel Proust
“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
Marcel Proust
