"This is gonna be a long and a great one.I only started navigating my way through the articles in the book. I read Brian Eno’s article on the ambient music and Umberto Eco’s Open Work, the latter I will have to revisit as it was quite conceptual. Then I read Ornette Coleman’s article on improvisation and free jazz. Now, I’m back in the beginning reading the Introduction. I will pick up from Frank Zappa later." Dec 13, 2020 04:12PM

Hiroko Oyamada
“I want to work, and I’m lucky enough to be able to. Of course I’m grateful for that. How could I not be? Except, well, I don’t want to work. I really don’t. Life has nothing to do with work and work has no real bearing on life. I used to think they were connected, but now I can see there’s just no way.”
Hiroko Oyamada, The Factory

James Baldwin
“Much has been written of love turning to hatred, of the heart growing cold with the death of love. It is a remarkable process. It is far more terrible than anything I have ever read about it, more terrible than anything I will ever be able to say.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Slavoj Žižek
“All too often, when we love somebody, we don't accept him or her as what the person effectively is. We accept him or her insofar as this person fits the co-ordinates of our fantasy. We misidentify [...] him or her – which is why, when we discover that we were wrong, love can quickly turn into violence.”
Slavoj Žižek

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“The spirit is never at rest but always engaged in ever progressive motion, in giving itself a new form.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Phenomenology of Mind, Vol 1

Peter Hook
“Now I don't know why, but Morrissey had always hated Joy Division. Maybe Rob got it right when after a lively debate as the cameras were turned off he turned to Morrissey and said, 'The trouble with you, Morrissey, is that you've never had the guts to kill yourself like Ian. You're fucking jealous.' You should have seen his face as he stormed off. I laughed me bollocks off.”
Peter Hook, The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club
