"I’m going to finish it, but it’s not really thrilling. Not that a book needs to be thrilling. It’s satire that tends towards earnestness when it doesn’t have a bead trained on anything in particular. Also conveys some real pathos, I think. It flirts with thrilling elements, which is good. More meditative, though." Aug 13, 2022 09:29AM

Ignatius of Loyola
“Calisto, a companion of Ignatius, and who on recovering from a severe illness had heard of the imprisonment of Ignatius, hastened from Segnovia, where he was staying, and came to Alcala, that he, too, might be cast into prison.”
St. Ignatius of Loyola

Nadine Gordimer
“The old phrases crack and meaning shakes out wet and new.”
Nadine Gordimer

Jacques Derrida
“What must a text be if it can, by itself in a way, turn itself in order to shine again, after an eclipse, with a different light, in a time that is no longer that of its productive source (and was it ever contemporaneous with it?), and then again repeat this resurgence after several deaths, counting, among several others, those of the author, and the simulacrum of a multiple extinction?”
Jacques Derrida, Margins of Philosophy
