“I live through risk. Without risk there is no art. You
should always be on the edge of a cliff
about to fall down and break your neck.”
“I need, therefore I imagine.”
“chaos: it has no plural.”
“Memory is satisfied desire.”
“Culture consists of connections, not of separations: to
specialize is to isolate.”
“What the United States does best is
to understand itself.
What it does worst is understand
others.”
“Perfect order is the forerunner of
perfect horror.”
“If the Soviet Union can give up the
Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the
James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let's all go to bed
wearing the perfume we like best.”
“The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word
engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage
toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who
must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence
from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the
blindness of purely lineal thought.”
~Carlos Fuentes
