Quotations

Most quotations in Symposium are in the public domain: English translations and original English texts hosted by Project Gutenberg and Wikisource. Where no public-domain English translation serves, the quotation is Symposium’s own translation of a public-domain original; those essays say so beside the source. A few essays discuss works still in copyright (Camus, Sartre, Arendt, and other twentieth-century authors). Each of those quotes one or two sentences, for the purpose of commentary and criticism, under fair use; the Quotations page marks them, and the recommended reads for those works link to a library or a publisher rather than to a free copy. If you hold rights in a quoted work and object, write to luca@aperturetechnologies.net and the quotation will be replaced with a paraphrase. The essays themselves are written for Symposium.

Illustrations

The plate for each idea was generated for Symposium with an image model from a written scene, then edited into a black-ink engraving that the app prints over the school’s color. No illustration reproduces an existing artwork.
