If two things don't fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that's credulity

The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, ''I love you madly,'' because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still, there is a solution. He can say, ''As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.''

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.

The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.

Nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn

There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in every direction, but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation.

Better reality than a dream: if something is real, then it's real and you're not to blame.

The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad.

A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams.

There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.

I felt like poisoning a monk.

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.

The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad.

Programledaren övertygar med sitt levande och triumferande exempel publiken om värdet av medelmåttigheten. Han framkallar inga mindervärdeskomplex även om han erbjuder sig själv som idol, och publiken belönar honom genom att älska honom. Han representerar ett ideal som ingen behöver anstränga sig för att nå upp till, därför att alla redan befinner sig på hans nivå.

I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.
