Confussion Quotes

whether that moment was
immensely hurtful or was
awfully affectionate for me.”
― Suman Pokhrel

― RSCruz

“—No hay que temer la confusión —dijo mi padre con una leve sonrisa en los labios—, sino abrazarla y darle la bienvenida. Conduce a las preguntas, y con un poco de suerte también a las respuestas.”
― Lene Kaaberbøl, Doctor Death

“In context the word ‘confussion’ helps to describe the general splitting and combining that is going on subsequent to the appearance of the ‘etym’, Joyce’s experimentation with language attempting a ‘mimesis’ of the processes of nature, imitating the processes of natural growth and change. And yet the contention is possible that Joyce is predicting their use in physics, in advance of the naming of processes, though not in the precise observation and description of them. He foreshadows their possibility before their recognition in culture. It is as if he knows they will come along, and that there will be an action to match the name. On the other hand, Joyce is anyway more interested in creating a different idea from what atomic physics will come up with, one that combines and con-fuses the oppositions fusion and fission, splitting and blending in the same phonemes, thus making ‘fussion’. It’s partly an economical act, but indicates Joyce’s critique of language that it is inadequate in describing paradoxical things and self-contradictory processes, inadequate in fusing as a unity the things and processes made fissile by representation.”
