Culture consists of connections

 “Culture consists of connections, not of separations: to specialize is to isolate.”

“The contract between the author and the reader is a game. And the game . . . is one of the greatest invetions of Western civilization: the game of telling stories, inventing characters, and creating the imaginary paradise of the individual, from whence no one can be expelled because, in a novel, no one owns the truth and everyone has the right to be heard and understood.”
Carlos Fuentes, Myself with Others: Selected Essays
