Karl Popper
“what characterizes the empirical method is its manner of exposing to falsification, in every conceivable way, the system to be tested. Its
aim is not to save the lives of untenable systems but, on the contrary, to select the one which is by comparison the fittest, by
exposing them all to the fiercest struggle for survival.”
Karl Popper, The Logic of Scientific Discovery

“T|he personal pronoun ‘I’ designates the person who identifies his or herself with a specific ideal image. Thus the ego is what is represented by the subject of the statement.”
Lorenzo Chiesa, Subjectivity and Otherness: A Philosophical Reading of Lacan

Bridget Collins
“Memories,’ she said, at last. ‘Not people, Emmett. We take memories and bind them. Whatever people can’t bear to remember. Whatever they can’t live with. We take those memories and put them where they can’t do any harm. That’s all books are”
Bridget Collins, The Binding

Haruki Murakami
“Even memory though, can hardly be relied on. Can anyone say for certain what really happened to us back then?
If we’re blessed though, a few words might remain by our side. They climb to the top of the hill during the night, crawl into small holes dug to fit the shape of their bodies, stay quite still, and let the stormy winds of time blow past. Dawn finally breaks, the wild wind subsides, and the surviving words quietly peek out from the surface. For the most part they have small voices—they are shy and only have ambiguous ways of expressing themselves. Even so, they are ready to serve as witnesses. As honest, fair witnesses. But in order to create those long enduring, long-suffering words, or else to find them and leave them behind, you must sacrifice, unconditionally, your own body, your very own heart. You have to lay down your neck on a cold stone pillow illuminated by the winter moon.”
Haruki Murakami, First Person Singular: Stories
