Quote by Octavio Paz

Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same universal language. There is no one center, and time has lost its former coherence: East and West, yesterday and tomorrow exist as a confused jumble in each one of us. Different times and different spaces are combined in a here and now that is everywhere at once.


Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same univers

Summary

This quote suggests that in today's interconnected world, we all communicate using a common language, whether literal or metaphorical. It acknowledges that there is no singular dominant culture or viewpoint, and that time has become more fragmented and fluid. The distinctions between East and West, as well as past and future, are blurred within each individual. It emphasizes the integration of various temporalities and spatial dimensions, resulting in a simultaneous and ubiquitous experience of "here and now" for everyone.
