Memory is the medium of the must-have-been.

Indeed, it is sometimes almost as if the problem had to be forgotten to be solved.

Reading in the third millennium B.C. may therefore have been a matter of hearing the cuneiform, that is, hallucinating the speech from looking at its picture symbols, rather than visual reading of syllables in our sense.

Our search for certainty rests in our attempts at understanding the history of all individual selves and all civilizations. Beyond that, there is only awe.

No one is moral among the god-controlled puppets of the _Iliad_. Good and evil do not exist.

Poetry, from describing external events objectively, is becoming subjectified into a poetry of personal conscious expression.

We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog 'I' that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.
