Roberto Bolaño
“He asked me when I planned to come back. Always, I said.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

Roberto Bolaño
“De todas las islas visitadas, dos eran portentosas. La isla del pasado, dijo, en donde sólo existía el tiempo pasado y en la cual sus moradores se aburrían y eran razonablemente felices, pero en donde el peso de lo ilusorio era tal que la isla se iba hundiendo cada día un poco más en el río. Y la isla del futuro, en donde el único tiempo que existía era el futuro, y cuyos habitantes eran soñadores y agresivos, tan agresivos, dijo Ulises, que probablemente acabarían comiéndose los unos a los otros.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

Ernst Cassirer
“Such is the strange situation in which modern philosophy finds itself. No former age was ever in such a favourable position with regard to the sources of our knowledge of human nature. Psychology, ethnology, anthropology, and history have amassed an astoundingly rich and constantly increasing body of facts. Our technical instruments for observation and experimentation have been immensely improved, and our analyses have become sharper and more penetrating.

We appear, nonetheless, not yet to have found a method for the mastery and organization of this material. When compared with our own abundance the past may seem very poor. But our wealth of facts is not necessarily a wealth of thoughts. Unless we succeed in finding a clue of Ariadne to lead us out of this labyrinth, we can have no real insight into the general character of human culture; we shall remain lost in a mass of disconnected and disintegrated data which seem to lack all conceptual unity.”
Ernst Cassirer, An Essay on Man: An Introduction to a Philosophy of Human Culture

Roberto Bolaño
“Hoy me di cuenta de que lo que escribí ayer en realidad lo escribí hoy: todo lo del treintaiuno de diciembre lo escribí el uno de enero, es decir hoy, y lo que escribí el treinta de diciembre lo escribí el treintaiuno, es decir ayer. Lo que escribo hoy en realidad lo escribo mañana, que para mí será hoy y ayer, y también de alguna manera: un día invisible. Pero sin exagerar.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

Roberto Bolaño
“There are books for when you’re bored. Plenty of them. There are books for when you’re calm. The best kind, in my opinion. There are also books for when you’re sad. And there are books for when you’re happy. There are books for when you’re thirsty for knowledge. And there are books for when you’re desperate. The latter are the kind of books Ulises Lima and Belano wanted to write.”
Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives
