Mallarme said that everything in the world exists in order to end in a book. Today everything exists to end in a photograph.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything in the world exists to end up in a book.
Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it, the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth.
The end of a picture is always an end of a life.
Live life and write about life. Of the making of many books there is indeed no end, but there are more than enough books about books.

Once I opened a book, I felt compelled to finish it. I was drawn into a world, and I had to know what would happen, how it would end.
Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption.
The impossibility of a sequel ever recapturing everything - or anything - about its ancestor never stopped legions of writers from trying, or hordes of readers and publishers from demanding more of what they previously enjoyed.
Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity.
It is true what Rimbaud said; If you think a book is strong enough, try it at the ocean, in the wind, at the waves. If the book can resist the ocean, then it exists. Otherwise, throw it away.
