why a return to prosperity often brings about a radicalization of the masses. This is because the relaxation of the demands of life makes possible a new arrangement of social space: horizons are no longer restricted to the most immediate of worries, there is some breathing space, and there is room for a new life project.

Each present that happens drives into time like a wedge and lays a claim to eternity. Eternity is not a separate order beyond time. It is the atmosphere of time.

Bodily movement can only play a role in the perception of the world if it is itself an original intentionality, a manner of being related to the object that is distinct from knowledge. The world must not exist around us as a system of objects whose synthesis we perform, but rather as an open ensemble of things towards which we project ourselves.

I can only escape from being into more being; for example, I escape from society into nature, or from the real world into an imaginary that is made up of the debris of the real.

To perceive is suddenly to commit to an entire future of experiences in a present that never, strictly speaking, guarantees that future; to perceive is to believe in a world.

If we want to take the phenomenon of movement seriously, we must imagine a world that is not merely made up of things, but also of pure transitions.

2/2 All knowledge is established within the horizons opened up by perception. Since perception is the “flaw" in this "great diamond," there can be no question of describing it as one of the facts that happens in the world, for the picture of the world will always include this lacuna that we are and by which the world
itself comes to exist for someone.

1/2 If we believe in the word past in the physical world in stimuli and in the organism such as it is represented by textbooks this is first of all because we have a present and real perceptual field, a surface of contact with the world or a perpetual rooting in it; it is because the world ceaselessly bombards and besieges subjectivity just as waves surround a shipwreck on the beach.
