"If we want to stop forces from transforming themselves the moment we turn our back, we should avoid turning our back!" (Latour 1993 [1984]: 199)

“If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

"Every man has within his own reminiscences certain things he doesn't reveal to anyone [...]" (Dostoevsky 2001[1863]: 28)

"[...] except, perhaps, to his friends. There are also some that he won't reveal even to his friends, only to himself perhaps, and even then, in secret. Finally, there are some which a man is afraid to reveal even to himself; every decent man has accumulated a fair number of such things. In fact, it can even be said that the more decent the man, the more of these things he's accumulated."
