“I had the first inkling that some kinds of splendor were invisible to others. Were not wrong. And the solitude of this knowledge was wide and comfortable, a sort of imaginary palace.”

“L’art a un rôle essentiel à jouer. Non pas au titre de divertissement ou de distraction – ce n’est pas son rôle, Nietzsche et Ionesco le mentionnaient déjà – mais en tant que machine de guerre totale contre l’univocité du sens. Il ne s’agit plus de commenter ou de comprendre le réel : il s’agit de produire du réel ! C’est beaucoup plus important. Ce qui tue aujourd’hui et avant tout, c’est notre manque d’imagination. Notre enlisement dans l’inertie. Nous avons bien davantage besoin d’artistes que d’ingénieurs face au désastre en cours : notre problème n’est pas technique, il est axiologique et ontologique. L’art, la littérature, la poésie sont des armes de précision. Il va falloir les dégainer.”

“don’t we all live in a mirage, that of our imagination, forever reaching for something that we can never attain – something that keeps temptingly eluding us and therefore spurs us on?”

“Finch turned around. The slap of his bare feet on the bare floorboards as he walked to the door reminded me of the heartbeat of someone beaten down by life. Finch wasn’t beaten down yet, but his feet thought he was.”

“These skeletons are not like the ones in the bunker,” Macy said. “These are beautiful and not strange at all. Can we take one down and put it in the car with us? It would be good company. And probably talk to me more than you do.”

“Seafood Newburg is a dish with a history. Well, of course MOST dishes have some kind of “history,” but this particular dish is sort of a history celebrity. It all began around 1876 when an “epicurean” named Ben Wenberg (or Wenburg) demonstrated the dish at Delmonico’s restaurant in New York City. After some “tweaking” by the Delmonico chef, Charles Ranhofer, the dish was added to the menu under the name “Lobster Wenburg.” It proved to be very popular. But sometime later, Wenburg got involved in a dispute with the Delmonico’s management and the dish was subsequently removed from the menu. But customers still requested it. So, the name was changed to “Lobster Newburg” and reappeared to the delight of restaurant customers. So, that’s the story. Probably. One can never be sure about these origin myths.”
