• An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.

• Aquí y allá, en algunas casas antiguas, todavía cuelgan de las paredes viejos daguerrotipos descoloridos... Nos parecen muy simples... comparados con los artísticos y hábiles retratos hechos en días posteriores... He aquí una fotografía que en un tiempo había sido la última palabra, un retrato muy moderno... Hoy es sólo una parte de la historia cultural. La pequeña superficie amarillenta ha adquirido profundidad, una perspectiva admonitoria. Tenemos en la mano un símbolo de la estructura y la ideología de una época.

• Legitimately produced, and truly inspired, fiction interprets humanity, informs the understanding, and quickens the affections. It reflects ourselves, warns us against prevailing social follies, adds rich specimens to our cabinets of character, dramatizes life for the unimaginative, daguerreotypes it for the unobservant, multiplies experience for the isolated or inactive, and cheers age, retirement and invalidism with an available and harmless solace.

  Henry Theodore Tuckerman

• La escritura de Aberjhani hace volar la mente y libera la psique de cualquier suposición rígida sobre la herencia ancestral. Aquí, nuestra experiencia colectiva se representa con crudeza. La transparencia de una cultura se superpone a otra, y a otra, para formar el daguerrotipo de posibilidades que es el homo sapiens, interactuando, casi como los propios elementos, con el mundo creado y modificado únicamente por el contexto y sus imperativos.

  Rosy Cole

• I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
