"Found parts of the “Proteus” episode to be maddening in their complexity, but I remain consistently astounded by Joyce’s descriptive voice. Still believe it was reasonable to approach this tepidly (at first) but it’s proving to be quite rewarding in spite of the headiness of the endeavor." Apr 06, 2026 02:40PM

William S. Burroughs
“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. ”
William S. Burroughs

Jorge Luis Borges
“A book is more than a verbal structure or series of verbal structures; it is the dialogue it establishes with its reader and the intonation it imposes upon his voice and the changing and durable images it leaves in his memory. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Yukio Mishima
“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Michel Houellebecq
“The absence of the will to live is, alas, not sufficient to make one want to die.”
Michel Houellebecq

Jean Baudrillard
“Americans may have no identity, but they do have wonderful teeth.”
Jean Baudrillard
