“Још се није десило да после неког злочина баш нико не претекне. Понеки сведок увек остане. И, исто тако, нису знали да ни прање мозга, у које толико имају поверења, нема апсолутну делотворност. И ту понеко мора да промакне, поготово кад је оно онако масовно као на Голом. Сем тога, после неког времена, и оборени, који преживе и потрају, полако почну да се усправљају.”

“Extending his hands from his bed, Plume was astonished not to feel the wall: “Well," he concluded, "the ants must have eaten it away.” And he went back to sleep.
Shortly thereafter, his wife shook him awake: “Take a good look, lazybones! While you were so busy sleeping, someone went and stole our house!” And indeed, stretching out on every side there was nothing but solid sky. “So it goes,” he thought.”
― Plume: précédé de Lointain intérieur

“There is an instrument that can hardly be heard; it is played in Africa for oneself alone, inside the hut, or outside without
bothering or attracting anyone. Rudimentary, archaic, apparently put together haphazardly, freely, by the village
blacksmith, the sanzas (that is its name): no two the same, no good even for a slightly elaborated melody, it is independent
of any scale.
Anarchical. A music of murmurs, the opposite of music for competitions, compositions. Instrument to relieve us dreamily
from all the noisemakers of this world.”
