Paul Beatty
“Unmitigated Blackness is coming to the realization that as fucked up and meaningless as it all is, sometimes it’s the nihilism that makes life worth living.”
Paul Beatty, The Sellout

Henry Miller
“It's good to be just plain happy; it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how, in what way, because of what concatenation of events or circumstances, and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss, and if you have any sense you ought to kill yourself on tire spot and be done with it. And that's how I was-except that I didn't have the power or the courage to kill myself then and there. It was good, too, that I didn't do myself in because there were even greater moments to come, something beyond bliss even; something which if anyone had tried to describe to me I would probably not have believed.”
Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi

Yanis Varoufakis
“Most politicians cannot be theorists. First, because they are rarely thinkers; second, because the frenetic lifestyle they impose on themselves leaves no time for big ideas. But most of all because to be a theorist you have to admit the possibility of being wrong – the provisionality of knowledge – and you know you cannot spin your way out of a theoretical problem.”
Yanis Varoufakis, The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the Global Economy

Jacques Lacan
“Anxiety, as we know, is always connected with a loss…with a two-sided relation on the point of fading away to be superseded by something else, something which the patient cannot face without vertigo”
Jacques Lacan

Max Stirner
“What else was Diogenes of Sinope seeking for than the true enjoyment of life, which he discovered in having the least possible wants?”
Max Stirner, The Ego And His Own: The Case Of The Individual Against Authority
