"I love etymology so much, and this passage gets at why. We are passing through time enveloped in a cloud of meanings.

Kant used the word ‘experience’, but, you remember, the word ‘experience’ in most languages—most Latin-derived languages, at least—has the same origin as the word ‘experiment.’ So, when Kant was talking about wxperience he was, in some sense, talking about scientific experiments.”" — Nov 04, 2025 08:18AM

Sanjay’s Quotes

“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Three, 1923-1928

“People did not know what she knew, that she was not really a woman but a man, often a fat man, but more often, probably, an old man. The fact that she was an old man made it hard for her to be a young woman. It was hard for her to talk to a young man, for instance, though the young man was clearly interested in her. She had to ask herself, Why is this young man flirting with this old man?”
― Lydia Davis
