• It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself up out of the dark abyss of pish and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash.

  H. L. Mencken

• Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

  Matthew Lillard

• Tal vez la poesía sea esto: un Atemwende, un giro de nuestro aliento. Quién sabe, ¿quizás la poesía sigue su camino -el camino del arte- en aras precisamente de ese giro? Y puesto que lo extraño, el abismo y la cabeza de Medusa, el abismo y el autómata, parecen ir todos en la misma dirección, ¿es acaso este giro, este Atemwende, lo que puede separar lo extraño de lo extraño? ¿Es acaso aquí, en este breve instante, donde la cabeza de Medusa se arruga y el autómata se desploma? ¿Quizás, junto con el yo, enajenado y liberado aquí, de esta manera, alguna otra cosa también es liberada?

  Paul Celan

But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.
