Quotes

• “In the eyes of authority – and maybe rightly so – nothing looks more like a terrorist than the ordinary man.”
• “God didn't die, he was transformed into money.”
• “Love is never directed toward this or that property of the loved one (being blond, being small, being tender, being lame), but neither does it neglect the properties in favor of an insipid generality (universal love): The lover wants the loved one with all of its predicates, its being such as it is.”
• “[E]ase names perfectly that "free use of the proper" that, according to an expression of Friedrich Hölderlin's, is "the most difficult task."”
• “Matter that does not remain beneath form, but surrounds it with a halo.”
• “Whatever singularity, which wants to appropriate belonging itself, its own being-in-language, and thus rejects all identity and every condition of belonging, is the principal enemy of the State. Wherever these singularities peacefully demonstrate their being in common there will be Tiananmen, and, sooner or later, the tanks will appear.”
