Jacques Derrida
“Psychoanalysis has taught that the dead – a dead parent, for example – can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts.”
Jaques Derrida

Blaise Pascal
“Justice, might.—It is right that what is just should be obeyed; it is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed. Justice without might is helpless; might without justice is tyrannical. Justice without might is gainsaid, because there are always offenders; might without justice is condemned. We must then combine justice and might, and for this end make what is just strong, or what is strong just.

Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognised and is not disputed. So we cannot give might to justice, because might has gainsaid justice, and has declared that it is she herself who is just. And thus being unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“People don't get what they deserve. They just get what they get. There's nothing any of us can do about it.”
Gregory House, M.D.

John Fante
“Almighty God, I am sorry I am now an atheist, but have You read Nietzsche?”
John Fante, Ask the Dust

Jacques Derrida
“I speak only one language, and it is not my own.”
Jacques Derrida, Monolingualism of the Other: or, The Prosthesis of Origin
