Ted Chiang
“Raising a child puts you in touch, deeply, inescapably, daily, with some pretty heady issues: What is love and how do we get ours? Why does the world contain evil and pain and loss? How can we discover dignity and tolerance? Who is in power and why? What’s the best way to resolve conflict? If we want to give an AI any major responsibilities, then it will need good answers to these questions. That’s not going to happen by loading the works of Kant into a computer’s memory; it’s going to require the equivalent of good parenting.”
Ted Chiang, The Lifecycle of Software Objects

Annie Ernaux
“When I was a child, luxury was fur coats, evening dresses, and villas by the sea. Later on, I thought it meant leading the life of an intellectual. Now I feel that it is also being able to live out a passion for a man or a woman.”
Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion

Olja Savičević Ivančević
“Nikad poslije u životu dječaci
nisu bili tako vitki i lijepi. To bi netko trebao reći srednjoškolkama, zašto im to tajiti; ljubite
ih sad, ljubite ih što više, što nježnije, još malo, i imat ćete neke druge oči, a ne te zanesene.
Zanosite se do besvijesti, pod svaku cijenu, to je sve što vrijedi i nikad poslije, ništa što
dolazi poslije, neće to moći zamijeniti. To je ono za čim tragamo, ponoviti taj osjećaj, izazvati
ga, to je ono što nam do kraja nedostaje. Strahovita zaljubljenost u život, platonska i
strastvena, životu usprkos.”
Olja Savičević Ivančević, Nasmijati psa

Ted Chiang
“People are made of stories. Our memories are not the impartial accumulation of every second we’ve lived; they’re the narrative that we assembled out of selected moments. Which is why, even when we’ve experienced the same events as other individuals, we never constructed identical narratives: the criteria used for selecting moments were different for each of us, and a reflection of our personalities. Each of us noticed the details that caught our attention and remembered what was important to us, and the narratives we built shaped our personalities in turn. But, I wondered, if everyone remembered everything, would our differences get shaved away? What would happen to our sense of self? It seemed to me that a perfect memory couldn’t be a narrative any more than unedited security-cam footage could be a feature film. ·”
Ted Chiang, The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling

Ted Chiang
“The universe began as an enormous breath being held. Who knows why, but whatever the reason, I'm glad it did, because I owe my existence to that fact. All my desires and ruminations are no more and no less than eddy currents generated by the gradual exhalation of our universe. And until this great exhalation is finished, my thoughts live on.”
Ted Chiang, Exhalation
