Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“It is said that what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.”
Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Malcolm Lowry
“A little self-knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
Malcolm Lowry, Under the Volcano

Georges Perec
“What we need to question is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us. We live, true, we breathe, true; we walk, we go downstairs, we sit at a table in order to eat, we lie down on a bed on order to sleep. How? Where? When? Why?

Describe your street. Describe another. Compare.”
Georges Perec, L'infra-ordinaire

Marcel Proust
“My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.”
Marcel Proust

Julio Ramón Ribeyro
“...we find only one tool, neither created nor invented, but perfect: the hand of man.”
Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Marginal Voices: Selected Stories
