Additional quotes by Elias Canetti

Cada nueva masacre crea un nuevo modelo, y da la impresión de que el crecimiento acelerado de la humanidad sólo sirve para su matanza.
Nadie, literalmente nadie puede decir qué milagro podría poner fin a
esto. Si se percibiera como esperanzador el hecho de que la experiencia y la conciencia y la conmiseración generalizada de la opinión pública empujan a terminar la guerra de Estados Unidos, se podría objetar que esta guerra ha estado exenta de victoria. A lo mejor es posible trocar hoy en día medias derrotas en repugnancia. Sin embargo, no existe todavía el remedio contra los triunfos.

Books have no life; they lack feeling maybe, and perhaps cannot feel pain, as animals and even plants feel -pain. But what proof have we that inorganic objects can feel no pain? Who knows if a book may not yearn for other books, its companions of many years, in some way strange to us and therefore never yet perceived? Every thinking being knows those moments in which the traditional frontier set by science between the organic and the inorganic, seems artificial and outdated, like every frontier drawn by men. Is not a secret antagonism to this division revealed in the very phrase 'dead matter' ? For the dead must once have been the living.
