Chronis Missios
“My generation failed to change the world, but at least I did not let the world change me.”
Chronis Missios

Cornelius Castoriadis
“While all societies make their own imaginaries (institutions, laws, traditions, beliefs and behaviors), autonomous societies are those that their members are aware of this fact, and explicitly self-institute (αυτο-νομούνται). In contrast, the members of heteronomous societies attribute their imaginaries to some extra-social authority (i.e. God, ancestors, historical necessity)”
Cornelius Castoriadis, The Imaginary Institution of Society

Fernando Pessoa
“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
Fernando Pessoa

Cornelius Castoriadis
“Reification, the essential tendency of capitalism, can never be wholly realized. If it were, if the system were actually able to change individuals into things moved only by economic “forces,” it would collapse not in the long run, but immediately. The struggle of people against reification is, just as much as the tendency towards reification, the condition for the functioning of capitalism. Capitalism can function only by continually drawing upon the genuinely human activity of those subject to it, while at the same time trying to level and dehumanize them as much as possible.”
Cornelius Castoriadis, The Imaginary Institution of Society

Κωστής Παπαγιώργης
“Ό,τι κολακεύει την ψυχή σέρνει πίσω του ψίθυρους και περίπλοκα παραμύθια.”
Κωστής Παπαγιώργης, Σύνδρομο αγοραφοβίας
