Jane Austen
“What are men to rocks and mountains?”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Robert Walser
“I don’t want to go running down some career path—supposedly such a grand enterprise. What’s so grand about it: people acquiring crooked backs at an early age from stooping at undersized desks, wrinkled hands, pale faces, mutilated workday trousers, trembling legs, fat bellies, sour stomachs, bald spots upon their skulls, bitter, snappish, leathery, faded, insipid eyes, ravaged brows and the consciousness of having been conscientious fools. No thank you!”
Robert Walser, The Tanners

Susan Sontag
“Time exists in order that everything doesn’t happen all at once…and space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.”
Susan Sontag, At the Same Time: Essays and Speeches

Sei Shōnagon
“185. It Is Getting So Dark
I am the sort of person who approves of what others abhor and detests the things they like.”
Sei Shōnagon, The Pillow Book

Werner Herzog
“Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.”
Werner Herzog, Burden of Dreams
