If man had a tough, hairy hide like a bear, his world would be different indeed, Shimamura thought. It was through a thin, smooth skin that man loved.
y ahora qué digo...

Es significativo que el Libro del Fin se concibiese en un momento en que los hombres, y los propios dioses, tenían que inclinarse a los caprichos de Roma. Como la arbitrariedad había degenerado en terror, sólo les quedaba a los oprimidos la esperanza de que algún día los liberase un acontecimiento de dimensiones cósmicas, cuyas grandes líneas e incluso detalles se pusieron a imaginar. En el imperio del futuro, los desheredados procederán de igual forma; el género visionario, y a veces siniestro, suplantará para ellos el resto de los géneros, pero, contrariamente a los primitivos cristianos, no odiarán al nuevo Nerón, o más bien se odiarán a sí mismos a través de él, harán de él un ideal aborrecido, el primero de los condenados, por no tener ninguno de ellos la osadía de erigirse en elegido.
¿Existe un signo de «civilización» mayor que el laconismo? Hacerse insistente, explicarse, demostrar…, formas, todas ellas, de la vulgaridad.
Lo que resulta desconsolador es ver que en cada época son los iconoclastas o los que pretenden serlo quienes suelen recurrir a las ficciones y a las mentiras.

Watt might have asked Erskine, he might have said, Tell me, Erskine, is there a bell in your room, or there is not? But this would have put Erskine on his guard, and Watt did not desire that. Or Erskine might have answered, Yes! when the true answer was, No!, or, No!, when the true answer was, Yes!, or he might have answered truly, Yes!, or, No!, and Watt been unable to believe him. And then Watt would have been no better off than before, but rather worse, for he would have set Erskine on his guard.
Some see the flesh before the bones, and some see the bones before the flesh, and some never see the bones at all, and some never see the flesh at all, neve never see the flesh at all.
—¿Te disgusta la gente?
—Adoro a la gente —respondió Naeko—. Nada me gusta más que la gente, ¿pero cómo sería si no hubiera gente sobre la Tierra? De repente pienso en esas cosas después de dormitar un poco en las montañas.

Salvador Dali’s proposed poster design for his unrealized film project, The Surrealist Mystery of New York (1935) [1]
“Dali adopted the violence, sexuality and criminality of popular gangster movies for his project, although - like so many of his scenarios - it remains fragmentary in nature. Scenes [are] located across the city…including Fifth Avenue, Radio City, and the Museum of Natural History, but begin in Harlem, possibly as a deliberate evocation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Poeta en Nueva York (1930).
Brief numbered and titled scenes then follow, including The Adorers of the New Fear, The Aging of New York, in which a Surrealist monument to the end of prohibition is erected, & The Cannibalism of American Films, in which a ‘severed arm pursues its cannibalistic desires.’” [2]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnd2ttn7tY1qzdvhio1_r4_1280.jpg)
