“Seolah tuhan ingin menunjukan  selera humornya yang tidak mampu di cerna oleh pikiran sehat manusia yang sangat terbatas itu. namun beberapa yang mau berpikir dan berhenti menyalakan sontak akan terdiam dan terpikal pingkal dengan guyonanya yang sangat melekat dengan kehidupan keseharian manusia. Sangat lucu sekali kan, ketika kita menunggu setiap jam,menit dan detik dalam kuota sisa hidup kita mencari dan menanti perubahan apa saja yang telah terjadi selama ini, namun seperti hari kemarin tanpa ada perubahan yang berarti, lantas memaksa kita untuk melihat kebelakang, apa saja yang sudah terjadi ? Ternyata yang kita dapatkan kini semuanya telah berbeda dari dulu dan sekarang, begitu banyak yang berubah.”

“Les légendes sur le Palais sont innombrables: on dit que l'ensemble obéit à des principes ésotériques, qu'un coiffeur y tint secrètement salon des années durant, que les rares plans qui avaient survécu brûlèrent à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qu'Orson Welles voulut y tourner Le Procès. Certains faits sont avérés: Léon Foucault y renouvela l'expérience du pendule et Adolf Hitler, grand admirateur de l'édifice, demanda à Speer d'en faire de minutieux croquis, au lendemain de l'invasion de la Belgique. De Poelaert, les habitants de Marolles gardèrent un souvenir qui s'est transmis jusqu'à nos jours. 'Architecte!' demeure l'une des insultes les plus graves dont on puisse se faire traiter.”

“The stakes in the debate between Benjamin and Schmitt on the state of exception can now be defined more clearly. The dispute takes place in a zone of anomie that, on the one hand, must be maintained in relation to the law at all costs, and, on the other, must be just as implacably released and freed from this relation. That is to say, at issue in the anomic zone is the relation between violence and law - in the last analysis, the status of violence as a cipher for human action. While Schmitt attempts every time to reinscribe violence within a juridical context, Benjamin responds to this gesture by seeking every time to assure it - as pure violence - an existence outside of law. For reasons that we must try to clarify, this struggle for anomie seems to be as decisive for Western politics as the gigantomachia peri tes ousias, the 'battle of giants concerning being', that defines Western metaphysics. Here, pure violence as the extreme political object, as the 'thing' of politics, is the counterpart to pure being, to pure existence as the ultimate metaphysical stakes; the strategy of the exception, which must ensure the relation between anomic violence and law, is the counterpart to the onto-theo-logical strategy aimed at capturing pure being the meshes of the logos.”
