“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”

I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Hollywood ... was the place where the United States perpetrated itself as a universal dream and put the dream into mass production.”

“As the Arab proverb says, “The dog barks and the caravan passes”. After having dropped this quotation, Mr. Norpois stopped to judge the effect it had on us.

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
