""An affirmation is always the affirmation of something, which is to say that the act of affirming is distinct from the thing affirmed. But if we imagined an affirmation in which the affirming is filled up by what is affirmed, that affirmation could not be affirmed - because of the surfeit of plenitude and the noema's immediate inherence within the noesis.""

"We went from how opening envelops was a crime to straight up murder. This book keeps surprising me as if the appearance of a past lover straight out of nowhere but there." Mar 19, 2026 08:25AM

"I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it." Apr 02, 2026 12:07PM

Milan Kundera
“But man, because he has only one life to live, cannot conduct experiments to test whether to follow his passion (compassion) or not.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Anthony Burgess
“Violence makes violence”
Anthony Burgess

Milan Kundera
“A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Milan Kundera
“Metaphors are not to be trifled with.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“We like to see a man calling himself a feminist, but we’re kinda scared when women do. We like to hear white people talk about racism, but we find black activists a bit too aggressive. Or we like to hear business leaders telling us that climate change is crucial and that we need to give up fossil fuels when environmental activists have been saying the exact same thing for years and years. Well, AOC is trying to do the same thing here. She wants billionaires to say TTR because when working-class people do, nobody cares. AOC wanted to use that system to her advantage. She wanted to gain power within that system and the dichotomy between fighting against the system, but using the means of that very system is at the origin of all the criticism she got.”
Alice Cappelle
