“Le moindre son du monde présent comporte un grand nombre d'échos, de même que tout objet, quel qu'il soit, possède à la fois une grande ombre et plusieurs ombres de moindre dimension. Or cette voix n'avait plus aucun écho. Il y avait longtemps, très longtemps que ceux-ci s'étaient dissipés, évanouis.
Et j'avais lu le livre jusqu'à la fin et le tenais encore dans mes mains ; avec l'impression d'avoir feuilleté non pas un livre, mais mon propre cerveau, à la recherche de quelque chose.
Tout ce que la voix m'avait dit, je l'avais, depuis ma naissance, porté en moi, mais tout avait été recouvert et oublié, était resté caché à ma pensée jusqu'à aujourd'hui.”
Meyrink Gustav, The Golem

Dashiell Hammett
“My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery.”
Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon

“Clearly Hitler was not the representative of any single group or class but many groups at the same time. [...] He had no choice if he wanted to stay in power, for no group was so powerful that he could base his power on it alone”
Eberhard Jäckel, Hitler in History

Robert Kurz
“La forme valeur ("le sujet automate") ne tolère à ses côtés aucun autre dieu.”
Robert Kurz, The Substance of Capital

Victor Serge
“Early on, I learnt from the Russian intelligentsia that the only meaning of life lies in conscious participation in the making of history. The more I think of that, the more deeply true it seems to be. It follows that one must range oneself actively against everything that diminishes man, and involve oneself in all struggles which tend to liberate and enlarge him. This categorical imperative is by no way lessened by the fact that such an involvement is inevitably soiled by error: it is a worse error merely to live for oneself, caught within traditions which are soiled by inhumanity.”
Victor Serge, Memoirs of a Revolutionary
