I suppose one could define satori as a quantum of enlightenment. :) There is little solace for the heart that grieves. Quantum of solace is a good title. It may not be the most accurate. I can't think of any witty title at the moment - just the Shakespeare quote that "revenge is a dish best served cold". Though Buddhism has no place for revenge that I can tell. May we all be so enlightened.

Jon said...: Thanks for sharing that... As they said in the comments, the meaning's fine, but "Quantum of Solace" is just hilariously stilted.

My favorite alternatives were
"Maximum of Gluteus" and "Interruption of Coitus."; November 29, 2008 10:36 PM
