Keri Hulme
“I am not a person to say the words out loud / I think them strongly, or let them hunger from the page.”
Keri Hulme

Agostinho da Silva
“I am not interested in being original. I am interested in being true.”
Agostinho da Silva

Carlo Rovelli
“In his youth Albert Einstein spent a year loafing aimlessly. You don't get anywhere by not 'wasting' time- something, unfortunately, that the parents of teenagers tend frequently to forget.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

Emily Wilson
“The goddess did not shoot me in my home,
aiming with gentle arrows. Nor did sickness
suck all the strength out from my limbs, with long
and cruel wasting. No, it was missing you,
Odysseus, my sunshine; your sharp mind,
and your kind heart. That took sweet life from me.
— The Odyssey (11.198-203)”
Emily Wilson, The Odyssey

Bruno Latour
“No one knows any longer whether the reintroduction of the bear in Pyrenees, kolkhozes, aerosols, the Green Revolution, the anti-smallpox vaccine, Star Wars, the Muslim religion, partridge hunting, the French Revolution, service industries, labour unions, cold fusion, Bolshevism, relativity, Slovak nationalism, commercial sailboats, and so on, are outmoded, up to date, futuristic, atemporal, nonexistent, or permanent.”
Bruno Latour, We Have Never Been Modern
