Si fuera del todo sincero conmigo mismo, diría que desearía destruir todo lo que ha representado Joyce.
Estoy contra la vanidad del dadaísmo en la literatura, que se alza por encima de las palabras. Adoro las palabras intactas.
La parte más verdadera de la lengua son para mí los nombres. Puedo atacar y derribar los nombres, pero no hacerlos pedazos.
Eso vale incluso para el nombre de aquel al que más odio, el inventor y custodio de la muerte: Dios.

Additional quotes by Elias Canetti

Disgust at collective killing is of very recent date and should not be over-estimated. Today everyone takes part in public executions through the newspapers. Like everything else, however, it is more comfortable than it was. We sit peacefully at home and, out of a hundred details, can choose those to linger over which offer a special thrill. We only applaud when everything is over and there is no feeling of guilty connivance to spoil our pleasure.
