Gianfranco Calligarich
“But it's always like that, we are what we are not because of the people we've met but because of those we've left.”
Gianfranco Calligarich, Last Summer in the City

James N. Powell
“Deconstruction seeks neither to reframe art with some perfect, apt and truthful new frame, nor simply to maintain the illusion of some pure and simple absence of a frame. Rather it shows that the frame is, in a sense, also inside the painting. For the frame is what "produces" the object of art, is what sets it off as an object of art—an aesthetic object. Thus the frame is essential to the work of art; in the work of art. Paint a $5,000 abstract painting on a railroad boxcar and nobody will pay a cent for it. Take a torch, remove the panel of the boxcar, install it in a gallery, and it will be worth $5,000. It will be art because it is now framed by the gallery. But at the same moment that the frame encloses the work in its own protected enclosure, making it a work of art, it becomes merely ornamental—external to the work of art. Thus is the frame central or marginal? Is the frame inside the work of art, essential to it, or outside the work of art, extrinsic to it?”
James N. Powell, Derrida for Beginners

James Thurber
“Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.”
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Walter Tevis
“I feel free and strong. If I were not a reader of books I could not feel this way.”
Walter Tevis

Ernest Hemingway
“The old man opened his eyes and for a moment he was coming back from a long way away. Then he smiled.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
