Memorable Quotes by Literary Writers

"Before the real city could be born it had to be imagined, the way rumors and tall tales were a kind of charting. . . " (In the Skin of a Lion 29; underlines added) 

"Writing links up one''s life with the history of our time, . . .

(Wachtel''s interview 257; underlines added)

(The English Patient 261; underlines added? )

"The form of social space is encounter, assembly, simultaneity.  But what assembles, or what is assembled?  The answer is: everything that there is in space, everything that is produced either by nature or by society, either through their cooperation or through their conflicts.  Everything: living: living beings, things, objects, works, signs, and symbols.  (Henri Lefebvre, 101; underlines added) 
 

他從另一個時空慢慢滲透進來,我所在的凝固時空慢慢被解凍:記憶沖淡,事件消隱,心緒飄渺。彷彿龐大的過往是別人的包袱,替他看管而已;活著也是他的職務,暫時代班而已。我只是一個虛構人物,因包袱需要背負,職位應該填空,才被虛構出來把日子往下過。(簡媜)
