Alain Robbe-Grillet
“the world is neither meaningful, nor absurd. it quite simply is, and that, in any case, is what is so remarkable about it.”
Robbe-Grillet Alain

Alain Robbe-Grillet
“To tell the truth, girls are no longer the way they used to be. They play gangsters, nowadays, just like boys. They organize rackets. They plan holdups and practice karate. They will rape defenseless adolescents. They wear pants... Life has become impossible.”
Alain Robbe-Grillet, Djinn

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Iris Murdoch
“I hate solitude, but I'm afraid of intimacy. The substance of my life is a private conversation with myself which to turn into a dialogue would be equivalent to self-destruction. The company which I need is the company which a pub or a cafe will provide. I have never wanted a communion of souls. It's already hard enough to tell the truth to oneself.”
Iris Murdoch, Under the Net

“Zowat het ergste dat een historisch gegroeide stad kan overkomen is dat zijn historische rijkdom geconsumeerd wordt als een apart te verteren stuk sneop, een 'historische' lekkernij in een toeristisch getto, een reclamefolder op ware grootte, een gemummificeerde achtergrond aan geen stad.”
Jo Lefebure
