Roberto Bolaño
“When Espinoza got back to the hotel he found Pelletier reading Archimboldi. Seen from the distance, Pelletier's face, and in fact not just his face but his whole body, radiated an enviable calm. When he got a little closer, he realised the book wasn't Saint Thomas but rather The Blind Woman, and he asked Pelletier whether he'd had the patience to reread the other book from start to finish. Pelletier looked up at him and didn't answer. He said instead that it was surprising, or that it would never cease to surprise him, the way Archimboldi depicted pain and shame. "Delicately," said Espinoza. "That's right," said Pelletier. "Delicately." p.143”
Bolano, Roberto

Roberto Bolaño
“Reading is pleasure and happiness to be alive or sadness to be alive and above all it's knowledge and questions.”
Roberto Bolaño, 2666

Wendell Berry
“The only true and effective "operator's manual for spaceship earth" is not a book that any human will ever write; it is hundreds of thousands of local cultures.”
Wendell Berry, What Are People For?

Wilfred Thesiger
“No, it is not the goal but the way there that matters, and the harder the way the more worth while the journey.”
Wilfred Thesiger

Roberto Bolaño
“For a moment the two of them looked at each other, wordless, as if they were asleep and their dreams had converged on common ground, a place where sound was alien.”
Roberto Bolaño, 2666
