Edouard Leve Quotes

A Dictionary Resembles The World More Than A Novel Does, Because The World Is Not A Coherent Sequence Of Actions But A Constellation Of Things Perceived. It Is Looked At, Unrelated Things Congregate, And Geographic Proximity Gives Them Meaning. If Events Follow Each Other, They Are Believed To Be A Story. But In A Dictionary, Time Doesn't Exist: ABC Is Neither More Nor Less Chronological Than BCA. To Portray Your Life In Order Would Be Absurd: I Remember You At Random. My Brain Resurrects You Through Stochastic Details, Like Picking Marbles Out Of A Bag.
