1. dying elders are libraries on fire.
2. what is the quality of my observation? my aim and prejudices?
3. the world as a system of systems, each system conditions the others and is conditioned by them.
a. wanted: translations of CARLO EMILIO GADDA, representing the world as a knot, tangled skein of yarn
4. "And I realized the impossibility which love comes up against. We image that it has as its object a being that can be laid down in front of us, enclosed within a body. Alas, it is the extension of that being to all the points in space and time that it has occupied and will occupy. If we do not possess its contact with this or that place, this or that hour, we do not possess that being. But we cannot touch all these points. If only they were indicated to us, we might perhaps contrive to reach out to them. But we rope for them without finding them. Hence mistrust, jealousy, persecutions. We waste precious time on absurd clues and pass by the truth without suspecting it."
5. what one would say in a small room is very different than what one would say in a big room.
