“art is not just a heightened procedure of providing sensual pleasures, but a medium of Truth;”
Slavoj Žižek, The Parallax View

Slavoj Žižek
“The Christian motto 'All men are brothers', however, also means that those who do not accept brotherhood are not men.”
Slavoj Žižek, Violence: Six Sideways Reflections

Slavoj Žižek
“The “pursuit of happiness” is such a key element of the “American (ideological) dream” that one tends to forget the contingent origin of this phrase: “We holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Where did the somewhat awkward “pursuit of happiness” come from in this famous opening passage of the US Declaration of Independence? The origin of it is John Locke, who claimed that all men had the natural rights of life, liberty, and property— the latter was replaced by “the pursuit of happiness” during negotiations of the drafting of the Declaration, as a way to negate the black slaves’ right to property.”
Slavoj Žižek, In Defense of Lost Causes

Slavoj Žižek
“When I really love someone, I can only show it by making aggressive and bad-taste remarks”
Slavoj Žižek

Slavoj Žižek
“Happiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Happiness is for opportunists. So I think that the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, especially struggle with oneself. If you want to remain happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.”
Slavoj Žižek
