Quotes

l'acephalehas quoted2 years ago
the temptation to bathe in the sun of this idealization often proves irresistible.”
l'acephalehas quoted2 years ago
add[ing] to each sentence some little phrase of uncertainty, as if anything that came out of language could make language tremble.
l'acephalehas quoted2 years ago
