W.G. Sebald
“On every new thing there lies already the shadow of annihilation.”
W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn

Thomas Bernhard
“One actually finds most people uninteresting, I thought, all the time—almost all the people we meet are uninteresting, having nothing to offer us but their collective mediocrity and their collective imbecility, with which they bore us on every occasion, and so naturally we have no time for them.”
Thomas Bernhard, Woodcutters

Walter Benjamin
“The equipment-free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology.”
Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

Byung-Chul Han
“Now, under the neoliberal regime of auto-exploitation, people are turning their aggression against themselves. This auto-aggressivity means that the exploited are not inclined to revolution so much as depression”
Byung-Chul Han, Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power

Jean Baudrillard
“Americans believe in facts, but not in facticity. They do not know that facts are
factitious, as their name suggests.”
Jean Baudrillard, America
