Quote by Renata Salecl

“Love is linked to the fact that in the end we know nothing about the object that attracts us in the Other, and that at the same time the Other knows nothing about this object that is in him more than himself, i.e. what makes someone attracted to him.”

“Fasting in each of the senses, strengthens the grip of life. After silence, each uttering as music. After hunger, each tasting, delicious. After smell, each flower, a heavenly scent. After darkness, each sunray, as meeting the angels. After winter, delicious heavenly scent of angelic music, warming of heart, elevation of soul. After great effort, blissful rest. Fast from heat, love, company, intimacy, curiosity. Fast in all things. Occasionally deprive yourself of life, and truly you will live. Let each machine in each factory have its rest and maintenance, for they will strengthen in efficiency. Recovery.”

“Typographic Man wrote the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. Graphic Man elects the president of the United States. Which of the Ancient Greek forms of government will satisfy and serve the interest of both the former and the latter is a question beyond the boundaries of this book. The preliminary working toward an answer is the recognition that a nation denied knowledge of its past cannot make sense of its present or imagine its future. Human beings deprived of memory lose track of where they’ve been, who they are, and where they might be going: so do the people’s elected representatives, who forget why sovereign nations go to war or how it comes to pass that money doesn’t grow on trees.”
