Tremor (2023) - Teju Cole

I have begun to experience the museum itself as a zone of sustained shocks. These are shocks that issue out of a feeling of moral whiplash: the meticulousness of curatorial practice on the one hand and those dark pools of human blood on the other.

Água Viva (1973) - Clarice Lispector

Não quero ter a terrível limitação de quem vive apenas do que é passível de fazer sentido. Eu não: quero é uma verdade inventada. // I don’t want to have the terrible limitation of those who live merely from what can make sense. Not I: I want an invented truth.

Doctor Zhivago (1965) - David Lean

I shouldn't admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don't you agree? Feelings, insights, affections… it's suddenly trivial now.

Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (1975-1981) - Peter Weiss

Und wenn es auch nicht so werden würde, wie wir es erhofft hatten, so änderte dies doch an den Hoffnungen nichts. Die Hoffnungen würden bleiben. Die Utopie würde notwendig sein. Auch später würden die Hoffnungen unzählige Male aufflammen, vom überlegnen Feind erstickt und wieder neu erweckt werden. Und der Bereich der Hoffnungen würde größer werden, als er es zu unsrer Zeit war, er würde sich über alle Kontinente erstrecken. Das ineinander verbißne Getümmel würde anwachsen und der Drang zum Widerspruch, zur Gegenwehr würde nicht erlahmen. Wie das Vergangne unabänderlich war, würden die Hoffnungen unabänderlich bleiben, und sie, die einmal, als wir jung waren, solch glühende Hoffnungen gehegt hatten, würden sich, indem wir diese wieder wachriefen, damit ehren lassen.
