“To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“Časový golem povstal a byl, ignoroval linearitu kolem sebe, pouze byl.
Byl narušením, strašlivým proniknutím do sledu okamžiků, sraženinou v diachronii, která s nemyslící arogancí své existence nevěnovala tomuto zprznění ontologie sebemenší pozornost.

The time golem stood and was, ignored the linearity around it, only was. It was a violence, a terrible intrusion in the succession of moments, a clot in diachrony, and with the dumb arrogance of its existence it paid the outrage of
ontology no mind.”
― China Miéville, Iron Council

“Philosophy is not science, because science believes it can soar over its object and holds the correlation of knowledge with being as established, whereas philosophy is the set of questions wherein he who questions is himself implicated by the question. But a physics that has learned to situate the physicist physically, a psychology that has learned to situate
the psychologist in the socio-historical world, have lost the illusion of the absolute view from above: they do not only tolerate, they enjoin a radical examination of our belongingness to the world before all science.”
― Maurice Merleau-Ponty, The Visible and the Invisible

“The oppressed peoples of the earth are not objects for the exquisite turmoil of European consciences. They are subjects from which to learn how to exercise political intelligence and action. Obviously, colonial arrogance is a long time dying.”
― Alain Badiou, Cinema
