Max Horkheimer
“Pragmatism reflects a society that has no time to remember and meditate.”
Max Horkheimer, Eclipse of Reason

Carl Schmitt
“The exception is more interesting than the rule. The rule proves nothing; the exception proves everything. In the exception the power of real life breaks through the crust of a mechanism that has become torpid by repetition.”
Carl Schmitt, Political Theology: Four Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty

William Blake
“Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are born to Sweet Delight,
Some are born to Endless Night.”
William Blake

Han Kang
“Soundlessly, and without fuss, some tender thing deep inside me broke. Something that, until then, I hadn't even realized was there.”
Han Kang, Human Acts

Georges Simenon
“Why, despite the blinding brightness, did everything look gray? It was as if the painfully sharp lights were helpless to dispel all the darkness the people had brought in from the night outside.”
Georges Simenon, Three Bedrooms in Manhattan
