“Life is a collection of unrepeatable moments, one after the other. And it’s true that the technology today makes the concept of recordability easier. You know… you make a track on a laptop, you save it, you reopen your laptop 3 months later and you can work on it again. This is a wonderful thing: to be able to jump back in the moment and repeat that moment. But maybe it loses somehow the magical quality of something that can happen only once. And that definitely what this record has been. It was this amazing circumstance of being able to put all these people, all these amazing players and all this talented cast together in order to create something special and unique that can only really happen once.”
— Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk talking to BBC about Random Access Memories
Don Draper: It’s easy to give up something when you’re satisfied.
Sylvia Rosen: It’s easy to give up something when you’re ashamed.

“Memories do not always soften with time; some grow edges like knives.”

“Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers — such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Open letter to the Fourth Soviet Writers’ Congress (16 May 1967)
