"I've heard so much about this book as the definitive historical account on the subject, but I'm already rolling my eyes. Alistair Thorne boasts about how he's the perfect person to write this history because of his neutrality on the issue as a British citizen. However, I'm seeing nothing but a sympathetic account for the French and a relatively drier account for the Algerians. This hasn't been a good start." Dec 12, 2021 09:35AM

Jorge Luis Borges
“My taste runs to hourglasses, maps, seventeenth-century typefaces, etymologies, the taste of coffee, and the prose of Robert Louis Stevenson.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

Edith Wharton
“It seems stupid to have discovered America only to make it into a copy of another country.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

Edith Wharton
“And you'll sit beside me, and we'll look, not at visions, but at realities.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

Adrienne Rich
“Sexist grammar burns into the brains of little girls and young women a message that the male is the norm, the standard, the central figure beside which we are all deviants, the marginal, the dependent variables. It lays the foundation for androcentric thinking, and leaves men safe in their solipsistic tunnel-vision.”
Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978

Yasunari Kawabata
“He had thought on the train of sending his head to a laundry, it was true, but he had been drawn not so much to the idea of the laundered head as to that of the sleeping body. A very pleasant sleep, with head detached.”
Yasunari Kawabata, The Sound of the Mountain
