• Debemos apreciar la civilización en relación con su territorio y en relación con su duración. El carácter del medio de comunicación tiende a crear en la civilización un sesgo favorable a un énfasis excesivo en el concepto de tiempo o en el concepto de espacio, y sólo en raras ocasiones los sesgos se ven compensados por la influencia de otro medio y se alcanza la estabilidad.

  Harold Innis

• The best thing we have is sleep, of course, and what is sleep except the putting aside of everything tentative for another interval of final and everlasting truth? Sleep isn't dying, but it is certainly keeping in tough with it.

• Looking back over sixty-odd years, life is like a piece of string with knots in it, the knots being those moments that live in the mind forever, and the intervals being hazy, half-recalled times when I have a fair idea of what was happenng, in a general way, but cannot be sure of dates or places or even the exact order in which events took place.

• As an improviser you need to experience the moment- and that includes everything in the moment. Observe the people around you-the bandleader, the bartender-what they wear, how they deal with people, the simple continuity of their presence. As you do that you'll see how you affect them , and you'll play and act accordingly. You need to study the reality of the moment, and that is very rarely about studying modes and intervals.

• El gran fin de la prudencia es dar alegría a esas horas que el esplendor no puede dorar, y la aclamación no puede exaltar; esos suaves intervalos de diversión sin dobleces, en los que un hombre se encoge a sus dimensiones naturales, y se deshace de los adornos o disfraces que siente en la intimidad como estorbos inútiles, y que pierden todo efecto cuando se vuelven familiares. Ser feliz en casa es el resultado último de toda ambición, el fin al que tiende toda empresa y todo trabajo, y cuya consecución impulsa todo deseo.

• Me aburrían los cambios estereotipados (armonías) que se utilizaban continuamente. Descubrí que si utilizaba los intervalos superiores de un acorde como línea melódica y los acompañaba con cambios adecuadamente relacionados, podía tocar lo que había estado escuchando. Me animé.

• Did everyone make the most ghastly blunders at regularly intervals through their life and live to regret them ever afterward? Was everyone's life filled with confusing and contradictory mix of guilt and innocence, hatred and love, concern and unconcern, and any number of other pairings of polar opposites? Or were most people one thing or the other - good or bad, cheerful or crotchety, generous or miserly, and so on.

• Será un dispositivo que permitirá la comunicación sin ningún intervalo de tiempo entre dos puntos del espacio. El dispositivo no transmitirá mensajes, por supuesto; la simultaneidad es identidad. Pero para nuestras percepciones, esa simultaneidad funcionará como una transmisión, un envío. Así que podremos utilizarlo para hablar entre mundos, sin las largas esperas de ida y vuelta que requieren los impulsos electromagnéticos. En realidad, se trata de algo muy sencillo. Como una especie de teléfono.

• Consequently, if my theory be true, it is indisputable that before the lowest Silurian stratum was deposited, long periods elapsed, as long as, or probably far longer than, the whole interval from the Silurian age to the present day; and that during these vast, yet quite unknown, periods of time, the world swarmed with living creatures. To the question why we do not find records of these vast primordial periods, I can give no satisfactory answer.

• Consonance, says the dictionary, is the combination of several tones into a harmonic unit. Dissonance results from the deranging of this harmony by the addition of tones foreign to it. One must admit that all this is not clear. Ever since it appeared in our vocabulary, the word 'dissonance' has carried with it a certain odor of sinfulness. Let us light our lantern: in textbook language, dissonance is an element of transition, a complex or interval of tones that is not complete in itself and that must be resolved to the ear's satisfaction into a perfect consonance.

• Bajo la dirección del Reich, Europa se habría unificado rápidamente. Una vez erradicado el veneno judío, la unificación habría sido un asunto fácil. Francia e Italia, cada una derrotada a su vez en un intervalo de pocos meses por las dos potencias germánicas, habrían estado bien fuera de juego. Ambas habrían tenido que renunciar a sus inapropiadas aspiraciones de grandeza. Al mismo tiempo habrían tenido que renunciar a sus pretensiones en el norte de África y Oriente Próximo; y eso habría permitido a Europa seguir una audaz política de amistad hacia el Islam.

• Actuality is when the lighthouse is dark between flashes: it is the instant between the ticks of the watch: it is a void interval slipping forever through time: the rupture between past and future: the gap at the poles of the revolving magnetic field, infinitesimally small but ultimately real. It is the interchronic pause when nothing is happening. It is the void between events.

  George Kubler
