Italo Calvino

...who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combination of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be constantly shuffled and reordered in every way conceivable...

Claude Lévi-Strauss

Each of us is a kind of crossroads where things happen. The crossroads is purely passive; something happens there. A different thing, equally valid, happens elsewhere. There is no choice, it is just a matter of chance.

Jean-François Lyotard

No self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations now more complex and mobile than ever before... one is always located at a post through which various kinds of messages pass

Shakespeare

All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players: / They have their exits and their entrances; / And one man in his time plays his parts...

Jorge Luis Borges

Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.

John Peel

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, 'Listen, mate, life has surface noise.'
