Quote by Pola Oloixarac

“Parce que le seul instinct réel de l’homme, c’est de partir en courant au plus profond de la forêt. Si tel n’était pas le cas, pourquoi s’acharnerait-on autant à nous faire aimer la société, à nous faire entrer dans le crâne le style amoureux et grégaire de la Patrie absolue ? Le divertissement social est un système opérationnel de coutumes visant à minimiser la peur d’être totalement encerclé.”

“Le sexe est un système stable de formes égoïstes tournant autour de soleil de la vanité. L’esprit d’échange de la promiscuité propose une nouvelle version du mythe fondateur de la démocratie : pratiquer l’exercice de nous supposer égaux doit par définition nous obliger à franchir les barrières de l’activité privée, les pures contingences intimes. Ce n’est que maintenant, dépolitisée de ses carottes théologiques, entièrement froide et pure, que la révolution sexuelle recouvre le sens véritable des révolutions de Copernic – l’instinct conservateur de la vanité en tant que triomphe est esthétique et moral de la démocratie.”

“Some may feel that no criticism can be made of real religious Faith, and this is true, it is the folly of the faith in dogmatic authority that is at issue really, and needs only the memory of Galileo to serve as an example, though there are countless other examples, particularly in modern political faiths from Liberal laissez-faire to Marxist determinism. In our day it is more the authority of science and reason that has replaced the ecclesiastic authority, though the pendulum is beginning now, in the middle of the twentieth century, to move back towards the equilibrium point, and doubtless, human nature being what it is, will eventually swing to the irrational side, and then back again, and back again, and back again, and back again, until humanity achieves some semblance of permanent balance in its outlook —or even stops being the dupe of external authority.”

“In the clay, there is a tiger and the problem is neither in the question nor is in the text, it is in interpretation. You can listen or read the answer in folk literature and Sufi music. To belong is to have a grammar and in grammar there are exceptions. You can never belong fully except to the gravity of the universe. We belong anyways.”

“For each now strives to isolate his person as much as possible from the others, wishing to experience within himself life's completeness, yet from all his efforts there results not life's completeness but a complete suicide, for instead of discovering the true nature of their being they lapse into total solitariness. For in our era all are isolated into individuals, each retires solitary within his burrow, each withdraws from the other, conceals himself and that which he possesses, and ends by being rejected of men and by rejecting them. He ammasses wealth in solitariness, thinking: how strong I am now and how secure, yet he does not know, the witless one, that the more he ammasses, the further he will sink into suicidal impotence. For he has become accustomed to relying upon himself alone has isolated himself from the whole as an individual, has trained his soul not to trust in help from others, in human beings and mankind, and is fearful only of losing his money and privileges he has acquired. In every place today the human mind is mockingly starting to lose its awareness of the fact that a person's true security consists not in his own personal, solitary effort, but in the common integrity of human kind.”
