I have laboured carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate human actions, but to understand them.
— Baruch Spinoza
Nothing tells memory from ordinary moments. Only afterwords do they claim remembrance on account of their scars.
- La Jetée
This was the purpose of the experiment: to throw emissaries into time, to call past and future to the rescue of the present.
- La Jetée
“I could not forbear getting up to the top of a little mountain, and looking out to sea, in hopes of seeing a ship : then fancy that, at a vast distance, I spied a sail, please myself with the hopes of it, and, after looking steadily, till I was almost blind, lose it quite, and sit down and weep like a child, and thus increase my misery by my folly.”
― Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

“Si no os picaderes más de saber más menear las negras que llevais que la lengua –dijo el otro estudiante–, vos lleváredes el primero en licencias como llevaste cola.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de La Mancha
Few intuitive, sensitive visionaries may understand and comprehend "Ulysses," James Joyce's new and mammoth volume, without going through a course of training or instruction, but the average intelligent reader will glean little or nothing from it- even from careful perusal, one might properly say study, of it- save bewilderment and a sense of disgust. It should be companioned with a key and a glossary like the Berlitz books. Then the attentive and diligent reader would eventually get some comprehension of Mr. Joyce's message.
