To my surprise (and pleasure), Merleau-Ponty caps off his incredible essay on Cézanne with this fantastic passage on psychoanalysis

Maybe it was Knausgaard—but I mean it lovingly…

OVERHEARD IN A PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT "His last book was a real page-turner... by which I mean it contained many pages of irrelevant garbage"

Extolled FJ’s virtues by reading this passage to my students in our class on Chandler a fortnight ago

“We sense a vast closed field, the western mind, within which, like pieces in a kaleidoscope, motifs are permuted, vivid, bright, transient, for ever.”
