“The consumption celebrity superficially represents different types of personality and shows each of these types having equal access to the totality of consumption and finding similar happiness there. The decision celebrity must possess a complete stock of accepted human qualities. Official differences between stars are wiped out by the official similarity which is the presupposition of their excellence in everything.”

“Tragische Schuld verkörpert sich im permanenten Konflikt zwischen der uralten religiösen Vorstellung von der Missetat als einer Beschmutzung, die einer ganzen Rasse anhaftet und unausweichlich von einer Generation auf die nächste vererbt wird [...], und dem neuen vom Gesetz übernommenen Konzept, nach dem der Schuldige definiert wird als Privatperson, die sich aus eigenem Antrieb und unter keinem Zwang stehend entschlossen hat, ein Verbrechen zu begehen.”

“Especially important are the political implications of the idea that the new possibilities opened by a certain act are part of its content - this is the reason why, to the consternation of many of my friends (who, of course, are no longer my friends), I claimed apropos the US 2016 presidential elections that Trump's victory would be better than Clinton's for the future of progressive forces. Trump is highly dubious, of course, but his election may open possibilities and move the liberal-Left pole to a new more radical position. I was surprised to learn that David Lynch adopted the same position: in an interview in June 2018, Lynch (who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary) said that Trump 'could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.' While Trump may not be doing a good job himself, Lynch thinks, he is opening up a space where other outsiders might. 'Our so-called leaders can't take the country forward, can't get anything done. Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this.”

“If ten men are trying to lynch one allegedly vile person, than we can be completely sure that there are ten vile people and one allegedly vile person over there! Don’t forget, violence makes you a low man!”

“Und manchmal reist du um die Welt, um wieder das Gefühl zu haben, vorwärts zu kommen. Nicht festzusitzen auf der altbekannten Bank mit dem gleichen Blick auf das andere Ufer des Flusses. Du stehst auf und reist, um deine Blickrichtung zu ändern. Um deine Seele in anderen Orten zu erkunden. Sie an stillen Orten besser zu hören. Sie von kleinen und großen Meeren neu durchfluten und von verschieden starken und schwachen Sonnenstrahlen wärmen und berühren zu lassen. Um andere Menschen wahrzunehmen und neue Geschichten erzählt zu bekommen, die dich von deiner eigenen Abstand nehmen lassen. Ja manchmal reist du um die Welt außerhalb deines Kopfes, nur um wieder zu dir selbst zu finden und zu fühlen wie das Herz in dir wieder nach Leben schreit.”
