"Eindelijk Derrida lezen!!! (SO naar Thomas voor het lenen; sorry dat ik het nu pas ga lezen haha)

Volgens mij ga ik een beetje spijt krijgen dat ik dit niet heb gelezen voor mijn master thesis maar aan de andere kant heb ik genoeg andere dingen gelezen en heb ik lang genoeg gedaan over mijn thesis.
He, shit, misschien MOET ik dan wel een PhD schrijven puur om deze fout te rectificeren..." — Jun 17, 2025 06:44AM

“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
