"Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts."
Fact
"The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear - and even, in certain respects, would be - the most modern of critical movements."
Modernity
"Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure."
Hope
"Literature exists at the same time in the modes of error and truth; it both betrays and obeys its own mode of being."
Time
"Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament."
Death
"Fashion is like the ashes left behind by the uniquely shaped flames of the fire, the trace alone revealing that a fire actually took place."

"The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature."
Nature
"The writer's language is to some degree the product of his own action; he is both the historian and the agent of his own language."
Action
"Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means."
Language
More
"A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor."

"Fair... You'd be amazed how often I hear that word, Frank Zhang,and how meaningless it is. Is it fair your life will burn so short and bright? Was it fair when I guided your mother to the Underworld? No, not fair. And yet it was her time. There is no fairness in Death. If you free me, I will do my duty."
