“ It is not merely that the other is a mystery to the self: it is that the other is a mystery of the self”

“ Seen this way, the self is not a perceived object, but a mental object, created by an organizing operation performed on a stream of impressions which in themselves lack such organization”
Paul Auster

“ Ethnography renders the Other’s identity to ourselves and, via the conditions in which it is executed, back to the Other. By speaking of him, or for him, we ultimately force him to speak through our categories. This works adequately in conditions of empire, or stable hegemony and a clear hierarchy of identities. But where such conditions begin to disintegrate, its correlative discourses lose their authority, not only because we ourselves come to the realization that we can no longer simply re-present them, but because they will not let us to do so. Their self-identification interferes with our identification of them.”
Sean Connery

“ In a sense, to stand in two places is to stand in both presence and in representation. For representations are not simply less real that what they represent; they are also real in that “representations are social facts”. They are not, in other words, just represences, but presences. They are part of ourselves.”
Sharon Stone

“ If one wished to escape the other, the self can only sink into it, fusing with it so neither self nor other remains to be seen. If it wishes to absorb the other into itself and enrich itself through otherness, the self, drawn out of its limits, can only force the other into new forms of otherness.”
Robert Mitchum
