Theodor W. Adorno
“Myth is already enlightenment, and enlightenment reverts to mythology.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments

Marcel Proust
“The reality that I had known no longer existed. The places that we have known belong now only to the little world of space on which we map them for our own convenience. None of them was ever more than a thin slice, held between the contiguous impressions that composed our life at that time; remembrance of a particular form is but regret for a particular moment; and houses, roads, avenues are as fugitive, alas, as the years.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

John Hersey
“There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books.”
John Hersey, Hiroshima

Cormac McCarthy
“His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Theodor W. Adorno
“Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life
