“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life.

“But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.”

What is true for writing and for love relationships is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don’t know where it will end.”
