“Jack, eating rotten cheese, did say,
‘Like Samson I my thousands slay.’”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

“Here Skugg
Lies snug
As a bug
In a rug”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
