“Astral Projection. The more I talk to people, the less I see the point in conversation. I’ve often been in the midst of a conversation and have suddenly, unwillingly, been extracted mysteriously from it, as if I were observing the whole thing with a strange sense of detached melancholy, like an out-of-body experience. Why exactly are we talking? What exactly are we saying? And how long have we been talking? It’s as if we talk in order to slow down time, thereby secretly extending our share of immortality just a little.”
― Eugene Thacker, Infinite Resignation

“Happiness in other people makes me suspicious.”
― Eugene Thacker, Infinite Resignation

“Consciousness is nothing more, he writes, than “a flash of lightning between two eternities of darkness.”
― Eugene Thacker, Infinite Resignation

“I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended with my real face”
― Franz Kafka
