The Soul Is The Effect

People Can Tolerate Two Homosexuals They See Leaving Together, But The Next Day They're Smiling, Holding Hands, Tenderly Embracing One Another, Then They Cannot Be Forgiven. It Is Not The Departure For Pleasure That Is Unacceptable, It Is Waking Up Happy.

Take The Notion Of Tradition: It Is Intended To Give A Special Temporal Status To A Group Of Phenomena That Are Both Successive And Identical (or At Least Similar); It Makes It Possible To Rethink The Dispersion Of History In The Form Of The Same; It Allows A Reduction Of The Difference Proper To Every Beginning, In Order To Pursue Without Discontinuity The Endless Search For Origin.

Because They Claim To Be Concerned With The Welfare Of Whole Societies, Governments Arrogate To Themselves The Right To Pass Off As Mere Abstract Profit Or Loss The Human Unhappiness That Their Decisions Provoke Or Their Negligence Permits. It Is A Duty Of An International Citizenship To Always Bring The Testimony Of People's Suffering To The Eyes And Ears Of Governments, Sufferings For Which It's Untrue That They Are Not Responsible. The Suffering Of Men Must Never Be A Mere Silent Residue Of Policy. It Grounds An Absolute Right To Stand Up And Speak To Those Who Hold Power.

Madness Is The Absolute Break With The Work Of Art; It Forms The Constitutive Moment Of Abolition, Which Dissolves In Time The Truth Of The Work Of Art.

Do Not Ask Who I Am And Do Not Ask Me To Remain The Same.
