Item 77: Not the Mysterious Quote Item

Entered by md on Sat Oct 11 14:17:47 2003:

This is not the mysterious quote item.  In this item you may enter cool 
quotes from books you're reading that you don't actually expect anyone 
to guess the author of.  Maybe you think the book is exceptionally 
important or entertaining and you want to turn others on to it.  Maybe 
you want people to think you're clever or deep for reading such clever 
or deep stuff.  Maybe you're bored.  Whatever.

Woman mattered as long as she simulated shame, reserve.  What 
inadequacy she reveals by no longer playing the game!  Already she is 
worth nothing, now that she resembles us.  Thus vanishes one of the 
last lies that made existence tolerable.

-- E. M. Cioran, _Anathemas and Admirations_, 1991

PS: Could I ask the kind person who converts my column into braille for 
the blind to omit this particuar article.  I have no desire to offend 
eyes which cannot see.

        8 April 1972)

Did MC5 make the translation error or was that Szatmary:  "Sex, drugs, and
rock and roll".

Many years ago I decided the Jesus part wasn't for me. But Jello 
remains a friend.
