Quote by Orhan Pamuk

“Pero cualquier cosa que digamos sobre las características generales de una ciudad, sobre su alma o su esencia, acaba convirtiéndose de forma indirecta en una confesión sobre nuestra vida y, especialmente, sobre nuestro estado espiritual. La ciudad no tiene otro centro sino nosotros mismos.”

“En el mundo hay gente que lee y gente que no lee. En el mundo hay gente que puede con todo y jamás abandona una lectura y hay gente que deja de leer un texto porque no le dice nada. Yo soy de los lectores que pertenecen a esta clase. Hoy he dejado de leer un libro de Pamuk, “El libro negro”. Me cuesta renunciar a la lectura, me parece un desprecio a la literatura. Me pasó con el “Ulises” de Joyce y casi me pasa lo mismo con “El jinete polaco” de Muñoz Molina. Meses después logré leerla y me emocionó la escena del encuentro, o más bien, reencuentro del hijo y el padre en una estación de trenes. Antonio Muñoz Molina alarga exageradamente las líneas. No es fácil. Con otro libro extraño de un autor extraño- Juan Rulfo- me veía incapaz de acabarlo. Más adelante pude con la novela gracias a unas líneas referentes a la grandeza de “Pedro Páramo” puestas en boca de la Reina del Sur* Soy un lector que no lee todos los libros. Me pregunto si sería bueno anotar en un diario de lecturas como goodreads además de los libros leídos-mis pequeños desafíos- registrar igualmente los libros no leídos. Hoy he dejado de leer “El libro negro” y lo siento. Detrás de muchas batallas ganadas se guardan muchas derrotas. Esta es mi cuenta en mi diario de lecturas goodreads Una novela de Vargas Llosa me espera, me está esperando inquieta … _”

“The ultimate irony in this vast struggle (available to audience members who want to think about it but easily ignored by those who accept the semi-happy ending ) is the irony in many time loop (or ontological paradox) stories: John Connor has created himself (though he has not gone as far as the character in Robert Heinlein’s “All You Zombies” who is both his own father and mother). Far worse, by saving his mother’s life and ensuring the destruction of the Terminator, John Connor has created Skynet just as surely as Skynet has created John Connor by trying to kill him. Both Connor and Skynet exist in a time loop without outside causality. The Terminator’s surviving arm makes Skynet possible, but it is never invented, only found and back-engineered. Kyle Reese comes across time for Sarah Connor because of a picture and because John Connor asks him to, but neither the picture nor John Connor would exist if Reese had not already gone back in time. The simplest way to save the world is to let the Terminator kill Sarah Connor. Then (in all probability), no one would find a piece of the advanced technology, and Skynet could not be built. But, Cameron’s plot suggests, the “perils to come that would result from our hubris and blind faith in technology” may be inescapable, a time loop, a feedback loop, leading directly if not necessarily inevitably to destruction."Fighting the History Wars on the Big Screen: From the Terminator to Avatar" from The Films of James Cameron”
