"For the past few days, in fact, I have begun to feel that the story I am trying to tell is somehow incompatible with language, that the degree to which it resists language is an
exact measure of how closely I have come to saying something important, and that when the moment arrives for me to say the one truly important thing (assuming it exists). I will not be able to say it."
-Paul Auster The Invention of Solitude

"To follow the complex course of descent is to identify the accidents, the errors, the false appraisals, and the faulty calculations that gave birth to those things that continue to exist… it is to discover that truth or being do not lie at the heart of what we are, but the exteriority of accidents."
-Michel Foucault
