Lafcadio Hearn
“It is not made of air at all, but of ghost,—the substance of quintillions of quintillions of generations of souls blended into one immense translucency,—souls of people who thought in ways never resembling our ways. Whatever mortal man inhales that atmosphere, he takes into his blood the thrilling of these spirits; and they change the sense within him,—reshaping his notions of Space and Time,—so that he can see only as they used to see, and feel only as they used to feel, and think only as they used to think. Soft as sleep are these changes of sense; and Horai, discerned across them, might thus be described:—”
Lafcadio Hearn, Kwaidan - Stories and Studies of Strange Things

“The development of the forces of production was never an end in itself for Marx. The saving of labour-time, he said, should in the last analysis result in a restructuring of man: The free time – which is both leisure time and time for higher activity – has naturally changed its owner into another Subject, and as this other Subject he then enters directly into the process of production.70 Thilo Ramm points out correctly that this theory of the origin of a new man constitutes the innermost kernel of Marx’s teaching.”
Alfred Schmidt, The Concept Of Nature In Marx

Thomas Dyja
“The movement from Industry to Information would prove to be the fundamental economic shift of the next four decades, and it was hardly some secret conspiracy even then. Going forward, as Daniel Bell had explained, knowledge would replace labor, services would replace goods, and a new knowledge-based power class would emerge that would increase the role of women in the economy.”
Thomas Dyja, New York, New York, New York: Four Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation

“It belongs essentially to the advance of civilization as more and more organized increasing domination, that nature takes revenge on the men who have degraded it to mere material for human aims, by ensuring that men can only buy their domination by an ever-increasing suppression of their own nature. The division of nature and man in labour is reflected in the irreconcilability of the pleasure principle and the reality principle.”
Alfred Schmidt, The Concept Of Nature In Marx

Thomas Dyja
“The gameboard became what I imagine as a galaxy of 8 ½ million lives connected to each other in ways beyond counting: those with the most connections—and therefore the most access to favors, advice, job tips, and string pulling—shone the brightest, and the reconnection and reorganization of New Yorkers sent new tastes, ideas, resources, and behaviors coursing through every borough, unleashing financial, human, and social capital. Like a giant brain, the more connections, the more synapses firing, the higher functioning New York became. Those without wide connections, or with none at all, were left behind.”
Thomas Dyja, New York, New York, New York: Four Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation
