Jean-François Lyotard
“... Desire baffles knowledge and power.”
Jean-François Lyotard, Driftworks

Jean-François Lyotard
“Are we, intellectual sirs, not actively or passively 'producing' more and more words, more books, more articles, ceaselessly refilling the pot-boiler of speech, gorging ourselves on it rather, seizing books and 'experiences', to metamorphose them as quickly as possible into other words, plugging us in here, being plugged in there, just like Mina on her blue squared oilcloth, extending the market and the trade in words of course, but also multiplying the chances of jouissance, scraping up intensities wherever possible, and never being sufficiently dead, for we too are required to go from forty to the hundred a day, and we will never play the whore enough, we will never be dead enough”
Jean-François Lyotard, Libidinal Economy

Jean-François Lyotard
“...The sublime feeling is not mere pleasure as taste is – it is a mixture of pleasure and pain... Confronted with objects that are too big according to their magnitude or too
violent according to their power, the mind experiences its own limitations.”
Jean-François Lyotard, Peregrinations: Law, Form, Event (Wellek Library Lectures
