The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth - it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.

Syndex Theme by Marc Kremers

"While I enjoy America (a sense of bewilderment always accompanies this enjoyment) it behoves me to sharpen my skills of observation like an Englishman. A more shallow national orientation than the former it would be difficult to believe. How odd that intellect, movement and esprit de corps mark the same nation that boasts a thin veneer of what it calls culture … The American’s fears of financial indisposition, compromised hygiene and loneliness make even less sense."

Henry James, The Vastness of Self in Unpeopled Exile

"Walking in delicate silence, in the cruel wasting of his illness, down a crowded sidewalk on his way to the library, unrecognized, unknown, forgotten, the proudness of his bearing set him off from the summer people."

Lillian Hellman

Interviewed by Anne Hollander, John Marquand

"Technique can be taught, perspective is unique."

"There is the pleasure of tiredness. I lean the scythe against a tree and wipe my brow. And as I do—at that moment and not before—I feel the power of the new urge. Suddenly I want my earned reward. I want the thing that will take all that tension of focus and turn it slowly around, letting what was tightened up go loose, smoothing down every sharp corner. For me this is wine, something red that has been aged in oak, the gift of gifts."
