EL CABALLO DE TURÍN
"No obstante, la lección nietzscheana es aun más implacable que el propio Nietzsche: en la película de Béla Tarr no hay ninguna insinuación de aurora. El pozo se seca, la brasa se apaga, la llama del candil no prende e incluso el triste e imponente caballo renuncia a comer. Por todos lados hay una atmósfera de extinción, si exceptuamos el viento, la tormenta de viento que se ha apoderado de la vida y de los corazones. El desconcierto parece absoluto pero, en medio de la extrema austeridad de la historia, hay una explicación para lo que sucede. En el centro de la película hay un monólogo potente y apocalíptico a cargo de un extraño visitante que aparece y desaparece sin dejar rastro, un monólogo destinado a permanecer como una perla ardiente en la historia del cine. Quien encadena cinco minutos de palabras terribles habla como Zaratrusta, y lo que dice también es propio de Zaratrusta: la nobleza ha muerto porque los depredadores se han apoderado de todo, incluidos nuestros sueños."

WILLIAM BECKFORD
"El Califa y Nouronihar quedaron en un estado de mortal abatimiento; sus lágrimas no podían brotar, apenas si podían sostenerse; por fin, se tomaron tristemente de la mano y salieron titubeando de aquella sala funesta, sin saber adónde ir. Todas las puertas se abrían cuando se acercaban, los Divos se prosternaban a su paso, almacenes de riquezas se ofrecían a sus ojos; pero no sentían ya ni curiosidad, ni orgullo, ni avaricia. Con igual indiferencia escucharon los coros de los Ginhs y vieron las soberbias comidas que se les ofrecían por todas partes. Iban errando de habitación en habitación, de sala en sala, de avenida en avenida, tantos lugares sin fondo y sin límite, iluminados todos por una sombría claridad, adornados con la misma triste magnificencia, fatigados por gentes que buscaban descanso y consuelo; pero lo buscaban en vano, puesto que llevaban a todas partes su corazón atormentado por las llamas."

R.E.M.
Oh,Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool,fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool,fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream
