“A insônia é a vigília prolongada na noite do sujeito solitário, irreferencial. Esse sujeito não teria nada em que ele pudesse se encostar. A apropriação esvazia o mundo. O "absurdo" que Lévinas iguala ao ser anônimo é, justamente, o fenômeno ser esvaziado, desprovido de sentido, ou seja, de relação. O "murmúrio do silêncio" não seria nada senão a fala ausente do outro.”

“In the course of general acceleration and hyperactivity we are also losing the capacity for rage. Rage has a characteristic temporality incompatible with generalized acceleration and hyperactivity, which admit no breadth of time. The future shortens into a protracted present. It lacks all negativity, which would permit one to look at the Other. In contrast, rage puts the present as a whole into question. It presupposes an interrupting pause in the present... The general distraction afflicting contemporary society does not allow the emphasis nd energy of rage to arise.”
