"The difference between literary and philosophical approaches is their primary aim and emphasis: the literary interpretation of, say, Sartre's Nausea is in the first place interested in, among other things, explicating and appreciating the thematic content of the work, whereas the conversational philosophical approach is primarily interested in how Jean-Paul Sartre, by means of depicting Roquentin's feelings, attitudes, and thoughts, for example, illustrates the experience of existential angst."

"Reading Fugue State you might just get dizzy from Evenson’s worrying whirligig of the possible and fall into your own dissociative state. And while you could easily say that these are gripping stories, it would be much more accurate to say that these stories put you in a headlock while giving you complexities to puzzle over, then knock you to the ground, and hold you there until, unconscious, you drift into some never ending nightmare."

"Dick's Time Out Of Joint, published in 1959, two years after the first Disneyland park opened, is remarkable for the way in which it treats literary realism as a kind of Disneyfication. In a classic moment of Dick ontological vertigo, the novel's painstakingly described small town is revealed, in the end, to be an intricate system of pasteboard frontages, hypnotic suggestions and negative hallucinations. The pay-off can just as easily be read in terms of critical metafiction as science fiction, for what is any setting in realist fiction if not the same kind of system? How is any 'reality effect' achieved except by authors using techniques such as these?"

Swedish-born, New York-residing photographer Kristofer Dan-Bergman:

"People say again and again that philosophy doesn’t really progress, that we are still occupied with the same philosophical problems as were the Greeks. But the people who say this don’t understand why it has to be so. It is because our language has remained the same and keeps seducing us into asking the same questions. As long as there continues to be a verb ‘to be’ [sein ] that looks as if it functions in the same way as ‘to eat’ [essen ] and ‘to drink [trinken ], as long as we still have the adjectives ‘identical’ [identisch ] ‘true’ [wah r], ‘false’ [falsch ] ‘possible’ [möglich ], as long as we continue to talk of a river of time [einem Fluß der Zeit ], of an expanse of space [einer Ausdehnung des Raumes ], etc. etc., people will keep stumbling over the same puzzling difficulties and find themselves staring at something which no explanation seems capable of clearing up."

"She was hive-like with lilac eyes. Lurleen Berlin's eyes were never a second time. They were without her from all sides. They were familiar. They were familiar from her. They were frowns that sparkled. They never sparkled. She was never at her house anymore."
