“Pido lo imposible, lo más inmerecido, lo que me atreví a hacer una vez cuando él vivía: pido que sea su voz la que asome aquí, que sea su mano la que escriba estas líneas. Sé que es absurdo y es imposible, y por eso mismo creo que él escribe esto conmigo, porque nadie supo mejor hasta qué punto lo absurdo y lo imposible serán un día la realidad de los hombres, el futuro por cuya conquista dio su joven, su maravillosa vida.”
― Julio Cortázar

“Actually, I do happen to resemble a hallucination. Kindly note my silhouette in the moonlight." The cat climbed into the shaft of moonlight and wanted to keep talking but was asked to be quiet. "Very well, I shall be silent," he replied, "I shall be a silent hallucination.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

“Yeah, because I'm extremely romantic here. You know what is my fear? This postmodern, permissive, pragmatic etiquette towards sex. It's horrible. They claim sex is healthy; it's good for the heart, for blood circulation, it relaxes you. They even go into how kissing is also good because it develops the muscles here – this is horrible, my God! It's no longer that absolute passion. I like this idea of sex as part of love, you know: 'I'm ready to sell my mother into slavery just to fuck you for ever.' There is something nice, transcendent, about it. I remain incurably romantic.”
― Slavoj Žižek

“Nostalgia in reverse, the longing for yet another strange land, grew especially strong in spring.”
