“This is free-market fanaticism, the fanaticism of indifference to its own values and, for that very reason, total intolerance towards those who differ by any passion whatsoever. The New World Order implies the extermination of everything different to integrate it into an indifferent world order. Is there still room between these two fanaticisms for a non-believer to exercise his liberty?”

“Liberationville (The Sonnet) When the blood is boiling and conscience is screaming, Stop not wishing for a messiah to appear. When the heart is beating and the mind is restless, Sit not praying for the miseries to disappear. When the veins are burning and nerves are revolting, Stay not cooped up in a cocoon of petty pleasures. When the lungs are choking and cells are aching, Stay not inanimate out of insecurities and fears. When the spine is bending and the head is drooping, Stay not silent submitting to tribal identity. When the knees are trembling and the throat is thirsty, Stand not frail as servant of conformity. When the eyes are teary and lips are dreary, never consider sitting still. Obliterate loyalty to atrocities of the norm waking up to liberationville.”
