“Fíjate que nunca he podido acabar una novela rusa. Son tan trabajosas… Aparecen millares de tipos y al final resulta que no son más que cuatro o cinco. Pero claro, cuando te empiezas a orientar con un señor que se llama Alexandre, luego resulta que se llama Sacha y luego Sachka y luego Sachenka, y de pronto algo grandioso como Alexandre Alexandrovitch Bunine y más tarde es simplemente Alexandre Alexandrovitch. Apenas te has orientado, ya te despistan nuevamente. Es cosa de no acabar: cada personaje parece una familia. No me vas a decir que no es agotador, mismo para ti.”

Seduction, as you know by now, for women starts with the ears and for men starts with the eyes and for both, travels directly to the stomach. Some say you need sweet murmurings in the ears, but I say laughter, intrigue and delicacies are more powerful.”

“Death is only ever that free future we dream of when we put off everything and consign all things to their future occurrence. Objectively, the world is an illusion: it can only appear to us. Subjectively, it is the opposite: we regard it spontaneously as real. But one may propose the opposite: subjectively, the world is an illusion of our senses. Objectively, it has force of reality. Asymptote, clinamen, parallax, metalepsis - these are dance patterns, this is a whole non-linear geometry of theoretical space. Patterns of near-contact and reversal, of approaching the truth without ever succumbing to it.”

“The law itself was originally created in order to protect property. However, the law has been falsely attributed to being the reason property exists in the first place. At least, this is what the state would have us believe. The law does not create property rights because these already existed before the law was created. It is this false attribution that allows the state apparatus to conduct its mission of expropriation.”
