Singularity
"What is an ideal event? It is a singularity -- or rather a set of singularities or of singular points characterizing a mathematical curve, a physical state of affairs, a psychological and moral person. Singularities are turning points and points of inflection; bottlenecks, knots, foyers, and centers; points of fusion, condensation, and boiling; points of tears and joy, sickness and health, hope and anxiety, "sensitive" points...The singularity belongs to another dimension than that of denotation, manifestation, or signification. It is essentially pre-individual, non-personal, and a-conceptual. It is quite different to the individual and the collective, the personal and the impersonal, the particular and the general -- and to their oppositions. Singularity is neutral. On the other hand, it is not "ordinary": the singular point is opposed to the ordinary." LS (52)

Love had a thousand shapes
"Fifty pairs of eyes were not enough to get round that one woman with, she thought" [cf. el aleph]
"She was not inventing; she was only trying to smooth out something she had been given years ago folded up; something she had seen."
- Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Proust
"For there were, in the environs of Combray, two 'ways' which we used to take for our walks, and so diametrically opposed that we would actually leave the house by a different door, according to the way we had chosen: the way towards Méséglise-la-Vineuse, which we called also 'Swann's way,' because, to get there, one had to pass along the boundary of M. Swann's estate, and the 'Guermantes way.'" - Proust
