bell hooks
“I came to theory because I was hurting—the pain within me was so intense that I could not go on living. I came to theory desperate, wanting to comprehend—to grasp what was happening around and within me. Most importantly, I wanted to make the hurt go away. I saw in theory then a location for healing.”
bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom

Han Kang
“After you died I could not hold a funeral,
And so my life became a funeral.”
Han Kang, Human Acts

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

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

“Prisons are the image of the bourgeois working world thought through to the end, set up as an emblem in the world by the hatred of human beings for what they are forced to make themselves become”
Adorno and Horkheimer
