Con frecuencia escucho elogiar la brevedad, yo mismo me siento feliz cuando oigo repetir que lo bueno, si breve, dos veces bueno. Sin embargo en la sátira 1, Horacio se pregunta o hace como que le pregunta a Mecenas, por qué nadie está contento con su condición, y el mercader envidia al soldado y el soldado al mercader. Recuerdan ¿verdad? Lo cierto es que el escritor de brevedades nada anhela más en el mundo que escribir interminablemente largos textos, largos textos en que la imaginación no tenga que trabajar, en que hechos, cosas, animales y hombres se crucen, se busquen o se huyan, vivan, convivan, se amen o derramen libremente su sangre sin sujeción al punto y coma, al punto. A ese punto que en este instante me ha sido impuesto por algo más fuerte que yo, que respeto y que odio."
"Frequently, I hear them praise brevity, I fell happy myself when I hear them repeat that what is good, if brief, is twice as good. Even though in the satire 1, Horace asks himself or pretends he asks Maecenas, why is it that nobody is happy with his own condition, and the merchant envies the soldier and the soldier the merchant. Do you remember? The true is that the writer of brevities nothing wants more in the world than to endlessly write long texts, long texts where the imagination wouldn't have to work, where facts, things, animals and men stumble upon, look for, flee from, live with, love each other, spill their bloods freely without subjection to the semicolon, to the colon. To that colon that in this very instant has been imposed to me, by something stronger than me, that I respect and hate."

There is no other knowledge than intuition.
Deduction and discourse,
inappropriately called knowledge,
aren't but instruments that lead to intuition.
When it is reached,
the means used to reach it erase themselves before it;
when it can't be reached,
reason and discourse remain as marks pointing towards an intuition out of reach;
if, ultimately, intuition has been reached
but is not a present mode in my consciousness,
the maxims I used remain as results of previous operations,
"reminders of ideas"
Intuition is the presence of the "thing".
Roughly from "Being and nothingness"
