Walter Benjamin
“No poem is intended for the reader, no picture for the beholder, no symphony for the listener.”
Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

Paul Ricœur
“We must recognize the fact that philosophy at the present time is entirely at an impasse concerning the problem of the origin of values.

Olga Tokarczuk, House of Day, House of Night
