every morning without the blood of the dead sweating from every pore.”

One of the great portrait painters of two or three centuries ago is needed.”

National Socialism did indeed go in this direction. Those people, however, were far too poorly equipped for thought to arrive at a really explicit relationship to what is happening today and has been underway for the past 300 years.”

I seem to partake its rapid transformations; the active enchantment reaches my dust, and I dilate and conspire with the morning wind.”

how you cannot see it.
The strength in your scars,
the power in your despair.”
