Emily Wilson
“Tell me about a complicated man.
Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost
when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy,
and where he went, and who he met, the pain
he suffered in the storms at sea, and how
he worked to save his life and bring his men
back home. He failed to keep them safe; poor fools,
they ate the Sun God’s cattle, and the god
kept them from home. Now goddess, child of Zeus,
tell the old story for our modern times.
Find the beginning.”
Emily Wilson, The Odyssey

Sasha Sokolov
“Человек не может исчезнуть моментально и полностью, прежде он превращается в нечто отличное от себя по форме и по сути, -- например, в вальс, в отдаленный, звучащий чуть слышно вечерний вальс, то есть исчезает частично, а уж потом исчезает полностью.”
Sasha Sokolov, A School for Fools

Алексей Сальников
“Вообще, было бы неплохо, если бы проза так же перла, как трава или стишки. Не было бы всех этих споров, хорошо написал или плохо. Поперло – значит, хорошо. Не поперло – плохо.”
Алексей Сальников, Опосредованно

Eric R. Kandel
“Flat paintings are so commonplace that we seldom ask why flat representations work so well. If we really experience the world as 3D, an image seen in a flat picture would distort jarringly when we move in front of it. But it does not do so as long as it is flat. A folded picture, in contrast, distorts as we move around it. Our ability to interpret representations that are less than 3D indicates that we do not experience the visual world as truly 3D, and has allowed flat pictures (and movies) to dominate our visual environment as an economical and convenient substitute for 3D representations. This tolerance of flat representations is found in all cultures, infants, and in other species, so it cannot result from learning a convention of representation. Imagine how different our culture would be if we could not make sense of flat representations.”
Eric R. Kandel, The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain from Vienna 1900 to the Present

“The madder Maeve got, the more thoughtful she became. In this way she reminded me of our father -- every word she spoke came individually wrapped.”
Ann Patchett, The Dutch House
