Bohumil Hrabal
“I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop.”
Bohumil Hrabal

Jean Baudrillard
“The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies, presenters—there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there would be an irremediable void. We are back in the Byzantine situation, where idolatry calls on a plethora of images to conceal from itself the fact that God no longer exists. That's why the slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of a presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.”
Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories

Tom Wolfe
“Your self…is other people, all the people you're tied to, and it's only a thread.”
Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities

Eve Babitz
“I felt luxuriously involved in an unsolvable mystery, my favorite way to feel.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Shirley Hazzard
“I see that you are highly defensive." . . .
Caro said, "I withhold my analysis of your own attitude.”
Shirley Hazzard, The Transit of Venus
