“Every woman is like a time zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his child’s outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the child’s innocence.”
—Christoph Meckel (20th century)
