“What prompts so many commentators to speak of the 'end of
history', of post-modernity, 'second modernity' and 'surmodernity',
or otherwise to articulate the intuition of a radical change in the
arrangement of human cohabitation and in social conditions under
which life-politics is nowadays conducted, is the fact that the long
effort to accelerate the speed of movement has presently reached its
'natural limit' .”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Modernity

“Rigidity of order is the artefact and sediment of the human agents ' freedom.”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Modernity

“What a fine weather today! Can’t choose whether to drink tea or to hang myself.”
― A.P. Chekhov

“He walked around all the useless things in the courtyard and touched them with his hands; for some reason, he wished that these would remember him, and love him. But he didn't believe they would. From childhood memories he knew how strange and sad it is after a long absence to see a familiar place again, for these unmoving objects have no memory and do not recognize the stirrings of a stranger's heart.”
― Andrei Platonov, The Fierce and Beautiful World
