Quote by Salomé Voegelin

“[Re: playground of the possible:] Conventional teaching and instruction hold always already within themselves the purpose of their object or tool and thus also the limits of its use, value and context. Smith's treatment of tools and things goes beyond those narrow definitions inscribed in use-value, professionalism and a certain identity. It goes beyond those dimensions of an object that ground it within a rational and purposeful world view, and that anchor it in the discourse of the domestic or the professional respectively.”

“Death, in the human perspective, is not a given, it must be achieved. It is a task, one which we take up actively, one which becomes the source of our activity and mastery. Man dies, that is nothing. But man is, starting from his death. He ties himself tight to his death with a tie of which he is the judge. He makes his death; he makes himself mortal and in this way gives himself the power of a maker and gives to what he makes its meaning and its truth. The decision to be without being is possibility itself: the possibility of death.”
