Friedrich Hölderlin
“But where the danger is, also grows the saving power.”
Friedrich Hölderlin

“If anyone tells you fire is light, Pay no attention. When two thieves meet they need no introduction: They recognize each other without question.”
Ekai, The Gateless Gate

T.S. Eliot
“Or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.”
T S Eliot, Four Quartets

Joseph Conrad
“There is a – let us say – a machine. It evolved itself (I am severely scientific) out of a chaos of scraps of iron and behold! – it knits. I am horrified at the horrible work and stand appalled. I feel it ought to embroider – but it goes on knitting. You come and say: “this is all right; it’s only a question of the right kind of oil. Let us use this – for instance – celestial oil and the machine shall embroider a most beautiful design in purple and gold”. Will it? Alas no. You cannot by any special lubrication make embroidery with a knitting machine. And the most withering thought is that the infamous thing has made itself; made itself without thought, without conscience, without foresight, without eyes, without heart. It is a tragic accident – and it has happened. You can’t interfere with it. The last drop of bitterness is in the suspicion that you can’t even smash it. In virtue of that truth one and immortal which lurks in the force that made it spring into existence it is what it is – and it is indestructible!
It knits us in and it knits us out. It has knitted time space, pain, death, corruption, despair and all the illusions – and nothing matters. I’ll admit however that to look at the remorseless process is sometimes amusing.”
Joseph Conrad

Gilles Deleuze
“If you're trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked.”
Gilles Deleuze
