Georges Bataille
“The lover strips the beloved of her identity no less than the blood-stained priest his human or animal victim.”
Georges Bataille, Erotism: Death and Sensuality

Friedrich Nietzsche
“The slave revolt in morality begins when 'ressentiment' itself becomes creative and gives birth to values: the ressentiment of natures that are denied the true reaction, that of deeds, and compensate themselves with an imaginary revenge. While every noble morality develops from a triumphant affirmation of itself, slave morality from the outset says No to what is "outside," what is "different," what is "not itself"; and this No is its creative deed.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

Fredy Perlman
“The idea that an understanding of the genocide, that a memory of the holocausts, can only lead people to want to dismantle the system, is erroneous. The continuing appeal of nationalism suggests that the opposite is truer, namely that an understanding of genocide has led people to mobilize genocidal armies, that the memory of holocausts has led people to perpetrate holocausts. The sensitive poets who remembered the loss, the researchers who documented it, have been like the pure scientists who discovered the structure of the atom. Applied scientists used the discovery to split the atom’s nucleus, to produce weapons which can split every atom’s nucleus; Nationalists used the poetry to split and fuse human populations, to mobilize genocidal armies, to perpetrate new holocausts.”
Fredy Perlman, The Continuing Appeal of Nationalism

Gilles Deleuze
“The death of God has as many meanings as there are forces capable of seizing Christ and making him die; but we are still waiting for the forces or the power which will carry this death to its highest point and make it into something more than an apparent and abstract death.”
Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche and Philosophy

Jorge Luis Borges
“To think is to forget a difference, to generalize, to abstract.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
