"We all know that we are material creatures, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and not even the power of all our feelings combined can defeat those laws. All we can do is detest them. The age-old faith of lovers and poets in the power of love, stronger than death, that finis vitae sed non amoris, is a lie, useless and not even funny. So must one be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition?"

"For a large dinner party, you will, of course, provide a more varied menu, but make sure it is not too rich or indigestible! People react in different ways to emotion, champagne and wine."

"The mass communication universe is full of these discordant interpretations; I would say that variability of interpretation is the constant law of mass communications. The messages set out from the Source and arrive in distinct sociological situations, where different codes operate. For a Milanese bank clerk a TV ad for a refrigerator represents a stimulus to buy, but for an unemployed peasant in Calabria the same image means the confirmation of a world of prosperity that doesn't belong to him and that he must conquer. This is why I believe TV advertising in depressed countries functions as a revolutionary message."

Umberto Eco / Reports from the Global Village (in Travels in Hyperreality vol. I, p. 141).

"That we are possessed by what we would possess; held in bondage to earth and vested things by the attachments we form for them-even so holy a thing as a chalice, so slight as thing as a pebble." -- Kung-Fu Episode No. 18 "The Chalice" originally titled "The Pebble."
