| From 1984; been a long time since I'd read it~ I'll keep the quotes here for a while yet (thank you, again, Mike Malloy, for reminding me): "The consequences of every act are included in the act itself." "It struck him as curious that you could create dead men but not living ones." "Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." "And it is the same, he perceived, in all seemingly heroic or tragic situations. On the battlefield, in the torture chamber, on a sinking ship, the issues that you are fighting for are always forgotten, because the body swells up until it fills the universe, and even when you are not paralyzed by fright or screaming with pain, life is a moment-to-moment struggle against hunger or cold or sleeplessness, against a sour stomach or an aching tooth." "In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failures are better than other kinds, that's all." My English version (p. 290) has "2+2=5", while the Korean version (p. 300) has "2+2= " (which matches the movie version), a subtle, some might say substantial, difference. |
