Marcel Proust
“And even in the case of the poor kitchen-maid, was not our attention incessantly drawn to her belly by the load which filled it; and in the same way, again, are not the thoughts of men and women in the agony of death often turned towards the practical, painful, obscure, internal, intestinal aspect, towards that 'steamy side' of death which is, as it happens, the side that death actually presents to them and forces them to feel, a side which far more closely resembles a crushing burden, a difficulty in breathing, a destroying thirst, than the abstract idea to which we are accustomed to give the name of Death?”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 1

Glenn Diaz
“What else paved the road to that loss if not hubris. The temerity to smugly play with the enemy sans consequence. The idea that the enemy was playing, or played, by the rules. That they played the same game.”
Glenn Diaz, Yñiga

Marcel Proust
“There is probably no one, however rigid his virtue, who is not liable to find himself, by the complexity of circumstances, living at close quarters with the very vice which he himself has been most outspoken in condemning, without at first recognising it beneath the disguise which it assumes on entering his presence, so as to wound him and to make him suffer; the odd words, the unaccountable attitude, one evening, of a person whom he has a thousand reasons for loving.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 1

Ray Brassier
“Everything is dead already. Solar death is catastrophic because it vitiates ontological temporality as configured in terms of philosophical questioning’s constitutive horizonal relationship to the future. But far from lying in wait for us in the far distant future, on the other side of the terrestrial horizon, the solar catastrophe needs to be grasped as something that has already happened; as the aboriginal trauma driving the history of terrestrial life as an elaborately circuitous detour from stellar death. Terrestrial history occurs between the simultaneous strophes of a death which is at once earlier than the birth of the first unicellular organism, and later than the extinction of the last multicellular animal.”
Ray Brassier, Nihil Unbound: Enlightenment and Extinction

Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta
“When your father and Salvacion approach my father and mother for what they call cuentas claras; when our wedding to them means nothing more than splitting nickles and dimes, pesos and centavos, I look at you and think that you are not of this world, that there are things not of this world that make themselves known here, in this world's low and imperious corners. And I am yours now, as much as you are mine.”
Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta, Assembling Alice
