“Notable American Women gives us, with great panache and in eerie detail, a world that is cruelly reasonable within the near-religious limitations of its weird laws and customs. It is a book as unique as it is wonderfully strange.”
“Notable American Women is a weird nougat of a book that suggests Coetzee, Kafka, Beckett, Barthelme, O'Brien, Orwell, Paley, Borges-and none of them exactly. Finally you just have to chew it for its own private juice.”
“Notable American Women is an enchanting and moving novel. Like Italo Calvino and Lewis Carrol, Ben Marcus reconfigures the world that we might see ourselves in a cultural and moral landscape that is disturbingly familiar, yet entirely new. As though granted a new beginning, Marcus renames the creatures of our world, questions who we are and who, as men and women, we might be. Notable American Women is a wonder book, pleasurable and provocative.”
“Notable characters do not alone bear trouble; they use it.”
“Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by Leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... Understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.”
“notable people do notable things for they take notice of the unnoticed.They think beyond our thinking. They look beyond what we all look. They try, fail, and try again.They dare unrelentingly. They don't die with their purpose. They die on their purpose. Though they die, their purpose ever lives.”

“Notably, during this era, the notion of illegal immigration did not conjure the same political and legal consequences that it would after 1965 [...] The southern border of the United States was not militarized or guarded in the manner it would become in the late twentieth century, and seasonal, uncapped migration from Mexico was an accepted and expected labor reality.”

“Notably, it was only possible [ negotiating on the Tarabarov Island], and this is very important, due to the high level of trust Russia and China reached in their relations by that time. If we reach the same level of trust with Japan, we might be able to reach certain compromises.”

“Note 54.
I have often pondered whether Herman Hesse's The Glass Bead Game painted, perhaps not fully consciously, a good picture of what this new world could look like: a small and poor cultural en intellectual elite living in a secluded 'Castalia,' but that performed the glass bead game - an abstract synthesis of the arts and science -to tie together and give meaning to existence as well as the world as a whole. Remember that Castalia has a diplomatic wing whose role is to negotiate with the outside world to keep its funding. Of course Knecht leaves in the end, but there is one way of reading his ultimate drowning as a sacrifice so that the overman - Tito - can live.”

Your life mainly consists of 3 things!

“Note even Jonathan Swift would dare to write a satire in which politicians argued that - in a world where species are vanishing and more than a billion people are barely able to afford to eat - it would somehow be good for the planet to clear rain-forests to grow palm oil, or give up food-crop land to grow biofuels, solely so that people could burn fuel derived from carbohydrate rather than hydrocarbons in their cars, thus driving up the price of food for the poor. Ludicrous is too weak a word for this heinous crime.”

“Note for a moment do I take you for a truth that is real,' Ivan exclaimed in what even amounted to fury. 'You are a falsehood, you are my illness, you are a ghost. Only I do not know how to destroy you, and perceive that for a certain time I must suffer you. You are a hallucination I am having. You are the embodiment of myself, but only of one side of me ... of my thoughts and emotions, though only those that are most loathsome and stupid. In that regard you might even be of interest to me, if only I had time to throw away on you ...”

“Note, please, that I condemn only junk science (as does Mr Delingpole): this is in fact a measure of my, and his, regard for good science. Junk bonds do not, by their existence, condemn the existence of markets; crony capitalism – which is indissolubly tied to the ‘Green’ movement and its loudest advocates, who are bought and paid for by cronyism – does not condemn capitalism; junk science does not invalidate science as a discipline. Indeed, the greatest and most implacable enemies of junk bonds are and by rights ought to be traders; of crony capitalism, capitalists; and of junk science, those who hold true science in its just regard.”
“Note que a Arca de Noé pode ser rebatida como fato de inúmeras angulações e falha em todas, sem exceção, exceto como narrativa meramente religiosa, sem qualquer fundo de verdade: histórica, biológica, engenharia…..como estória para crianças, é excelente, mas adultos deveriam ser mais críticos, especialmente, engenheiros.”

“Note que não estou criticando os professores: eles são mal pagos, mal treinados, e sobrecarregados. Estou criticando os pais que dão ouvido a pastores e outros influenciadores que estão fazendo um desserviço ao estado brasileiro ao transformar ciência em religião, ao igualar as duas realidades, evidência com fé, como se fossem a mesma coisa, diferentes pontos de vista, igualmente válidos. Uma das chantagens emotivas mais comuns de cristãos é: você me deixa eu ter minhas posições (baseadas em fé, sem qualquer comprovação), e eu deixo você ter as suas (que usam fatos, evidências), como se ser racional fosse um favor que eles nos fazem, ao nos permitirem de pensar, de usar evidências, onde deveria ser a regra. Isso mostra um poder que eles ainda não abandonaram, ainda não caiu a ficha que religião não tem poder mais, com exceção, de serem hipócritas. Felizmente, religião não tem mais poder de estado, de polícia.”

“Note que nós humanos também temos um mecanismo similar ao caso do porco selvagem: radicais livres. Tudo que faz, desde respirar a comer, gera radicais livres, que é tóxico ao corpo humano. A única forma de não criar radicais livres é não viver. Nem vou entrar no fato de que somos, organismos vivos, a única forma de existência que diminui entropia do sistema. Todo sistema aumenta a entropia internamente. Seria como se fôssemos rios que correm para cima. Isso somente é possível quando estamos indo contra a natureza. Somos por definição uma aberração natural, nós organismos vivos. O normal é que nossos átomos voltem ao estado natural, e volta quando morremos.”

“Note that as the Procession of the Equinoxes continues, the Cardinal Points will shift according to different zodiacal signs. So, any symbolism or allegories written about the cosmos must be adjusted with each succeeding era. The constellations are in new positions, and will have new cardinal points, as they have all shifted due to the Precession of the Equinoxes. One determines which astrological age they are in by the zodiacal sign that marks the location of the sun at the crossing of the vernal equinox. This is a critical aspect to remember when dealing in Astro-Theology. Forget this point and you might as well leave the topic as it will become unintelligible.”

“Note the energy with which the media is going after Donald Trump Jr. And there's a reason. They want to dirty him up. They want to destroy the guy before he gets started on his own political career. He has an obvious interest in politics. He knows his stuff - and he can sell it and he can be persuasive with it - and he is the exact kind of conservative they want to destroy before he gets started.”
“Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.”

“Note the way "up close and personal" profiles of professional athletes strain so hard to find evidence of a rounded human life–outside interests and activities, values beyond the sport. We ignore what's obvious, that most of this straining is farce. It's farce because the realities of top-level athletics today require an early and total commitment to one area of excellence. An ascetic focus. A subsumption of almost all other features of human life to one chosen talent and pursuit. A consent to live in a world that, like a child's world, is very small.”
“Note this, I beseech you: in active obedience we worship God by doing what pleases God, but by passive obedience we do as well worship God by being pleased with what God does.”
