“Но има два вида интелигентност, както казва майка ми - на ума и на сърцето...

“So why was the goddess of Memory linked with artistic creation,you may well ask"
"Because for the Greeks creativity wasn't associated with the idea of producing something new-as it is today.The artist built upon, or reworked, the great intellectual and cultural achievements of the past.
So a great memory,you see, was considered a key part of creative activity- it gave the artist more material to draw upon, as well as a richer, more complex intellect. When James Joyce said ' I invented nothing, but I forgot nothing either," I think he was referring to exactly this sort of thing. ”

“Me encontraba en una deprimente película extranjera, con subtítulos escrritos a mano. Se me estaba yendo la cabeza, estaba perdiendo el norte. Una acumulación de fármacos pasados-ácido de adolescente, hierba de universitario, coca de adulto y alcohol- en una mezcla desaconsejable, unían sus fuerzas en un ataque de efectos retardados sobre mis neuronas, convirtiendo mi materia gris en espuma de afeitar.”
