Enzo Paci

Quotes

• “In the cool wind that rises in the night [...] perhaps a glimmer of hope is rekindled: that the horrors of life can be forgotten, and its labyrinthine and tormenting problems transformed into value, with the passing of time [...] in the slow and irreversible journey towards death. A smile consoles you, a gesture of affection reaches you, even if it ignores your anguish.”
• “The danger of Heidegger's philosophy lies not so much in its masked nihilism, which is always perceptible, but in the fact that, in its undeniable depth, this philosophy contains within it demands that cannot be rejected by contemporary thought, so that the value of many of Heidegger's analyses becomes a cover that often prevents us from recognizing the negative that constantly lurks behind the positive. (chap. 8, p. 210)”
