I’ve always believed Carroll’s Alice and Chandler’s Marlowe had a certain odd kinship: both wander as semi-involuntary moralists through collapsed games and ruined hierarchies, the only witnesses capable of crossing every boundary and collecting every account, and condemned therefore to conduct a kind of allegorical triage operation, to try to set the pieces right on the board.

Es cierto que, a veces los sueños producen pesadillas, pero no soñar produce idiotas.

Paco Ignacio Taibo II  (via littrature)

Translation: It is true that sometimes dreams produce nightmares, but not dreaming produces idiots.
