“The physical image presentation aims at the subject. The presentation of the image itself as the presentation of the appearing image-representant is an entirely different experience. Here, too, it is possible that the consciousness of imaging can slip away entirely, in which case an ordinary perceptual presentation would result. Preventing this consciousness of imaging from arising from the start in a purely intuitive manner is the effect produced by images simulating the look of reality, images of the sort found in the wax museum, and the like. Although in such cases we have a conceptual knowledge of the fact that the appearances are merely image appearances, in the intuitive experience itself the re-presentative moment, which is otherwise intimately mingled with the appearances, is absent. But this moment is decisive for intuitive image presentation. We have genuine perceptual presentations in those cases, accompanied by the thought that their objects are mere images. The appearance itself, however, presents itself as the appearance of a present object and not as an image. Indeed, in naïvely contemplating it, the appearance forces us to make the intuitive perceptual judgment. In doing this, it deceives us. In truth, there is perhaps another (nonappearing) object, standing to the appearing object in the relation of original to image. We know all of this, and yet the illusion continues to exist, since the appearance possesses the characteristic of normal perceptual presentation so completely that it will not stand being degraded into a mere representant. The accompanying judgment that it is a mere image just does not impress the image-characteristic on the appearance itself.”

“Ah, friends, dear friends, as years go by and heads get gray, how fast the guests do go! Touch hands, touch hands, with those that stay. Strong hands to weak, old hands to young, around the Christmas board, touch hands. The false forget, the foe forgive, for every guest will go and every fire burn low and cabin empty stand. Forget, forgive, for who may say that Christmas Day may ever come to host or guest again! Touch hands.”

“In the first place, 'lycanthropy' is a fact of human nature. Men and women have actually been possessed by the belief that they are wolves or other animals, and they have, no doubt, acted on their delusion. In the old legends we are told that such a person was a woman by day and a wolf by night, and no doubt the 'fit' which transformed the human being into a creature of blind ferocity, running on all fours, gnashing its teeth and tearing to pieces all whom it encountered, occurred when the darkness came on, at the hour in which all that is morbid in mind and body is strongest. The were-wolf, then, is not a superstition but a fact, and a fact which goes very far in clearing up the early belief in metamorphosis.”

“(Fregmento de El socialismo triunfante, o lo que sera de mi país dentro de 200 años, Francisco Piria, 1898) Durante el día, las calles centrales sólo están destinadas al movimiento de personas con sus respectivos carruajes, si así puede llamarse a una especie de canastos de alambre, niquelados uno y dorados otros, forrados de fina seda, sostenidos por un eje de aluminio que descansa sobre dos ruedas del mismo metal, con llantas de goma, movidos eléctricamente algunos, mientras los más eran impulsados por el aire comprimido, que tantos beneficios ha reportado en la vida actual, según el invento hecho por el célebre Oscar Rossini á mediados de este siglo. Gracias al invento de Rossini se ha podido resolver fácilmente la vialidad aérea,y últimamente,basado en el mismo invento,el ingeniero Roberto Ascasio,de la facultad de Bahía Blanca, ha inventado el volador, osea un pequeño carruaje aéreo, que remontándose a la altura que uno quiere, recorre el espacio con la velocidad de tres kilómetros por minuto.”

“He was the one who had Caden and me study the Roman Games and learn how the ruler could easily dupe the masses, taking their minds off their horrendous lives by giving them a spectacle. He understood how simple it was to get the people focused on the superficial while taking more and more from them. Getting them to fight amongst themselves and not their true enemy. Give them more show, and they'll eat it up, asking for more, while you are boldly torturing, murdering and starving them.”
