“Eros'un Istırabı

Bugün aşk cinselliğe, kendisi de başarı emrine tabi olan cinselliğe dönüşerek pozitif bir hal alıyor. Seks başarmaktır. Ve seksilik çoğaltılması gereken bir sermayedir. Beden sergilenme değeriyle bir metaya benzer" (20).

Her şeyin mümkün olduğu, her şeyin insiyatif ve projeden ibaret olduğu, Becerebilme'nin egemenliğindeki başarı toplumunda ise incinme ve tutku olarak aşka geçit yoktur. (21)”

“Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire.”
― Slavoj Žižek

“[T]his readiness to assume the guilt for the threats to our environment is deceptively reassuring: We like to be guilty since, if we are guilty, it all depends on us. We pull the strings of the catastrophe, so we can also save ourselves simply by changing our lives. What is really hard for us (at least in the West) to accept is that we are reduced to the role of a passive observer who sits and watches what our fate will be. To avoid this impotence, we engage in frantic, obsessive activities. We recycle old paper, we buy organic food, we install long-lasting light bulbs—whatever—just so we can be sure that we are doing something. We make our individual contribution like the soccer fan who supports his team in front of a TV screen at home, shouting and jumping from his seat, in the belief that this will somehow influence the game's outcome.”
