End, Nikolai Berdyaev

What one needs to do at every moment of one's life is to put an end to the old world and to begin a new world.

Eternity, Henry Brooks Adams

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops.

Automobiles and transport, Roland Barthes

I think cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals. I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.

- Roland Barthes' The New Citroën (1957)
