"The more our daily life appears standardised, stereotyped, and subject to an accelerated reproduction of objects of consumption, the more art must be injected into it..." - #Deleuze
"Literal meaning does not exist, its "appearance" is a necessary function, and must be analysed as such, in the system of differences and metaphors." - #Derrida
"Of all the immediate effects of pain and pleasure there is none more remarkable than the will." - #Hume
"Sin has been defined often as the inversion of the natural relationship between the soul and the body through passion." - #Derrida
"The future can only be anticipated in the form of an absolute danger. It is that which breaks absolutely with constituted normality and can only be proclaimed, presented, as a sort of monstrosity." - #Derrida 'Of Grammatology'
"For just as it's not the wish to become famous but the habit of hard work that enables us to produce a great work, it's not the light heartedness of the present moment, but sober reflections on the past, that help us to safeguard the future." - #Proust

"Works of art always spring from those who have faced the danger, gone to the very end of an experience, to the point beyond which no human being can go. The further one dares to go, the more decent, the more personal, the more unique a life becomes."
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letter to Clara Rilke
"A delicate palette may be a great inconvenience both to a man and to his friends: But a delicate taste of wit or beauty must always be a desirable quality, because it is the source of all the finest and most innocent enjoyments of which human nature is susceptible." - #Hume
"Mass media functions to neutralize the lived, unique character of the world and replace it with a multiple universe of media which are homogenous, signifying each other and referring back and forth. In the extreme case, they become the content of the others." #Baudrillard
"A tranquil life is also had in dungeons; is that enough to make them desirable?" - #Rousseau
"Poets who favour vengeance or free food,
unaware that these are spent gods,
say they're far from shrewd.
When everyone has spat in their faces,
these mocked heroes,
entreat the thunder quietly through their beards,
& hang themselves from a gas lamp in the street." -#Mallarme
"Nature, through the action of real and disordered juxtaposition, causes difference to appear in the ordered continuity of beings; human nature causes the identical to appear in the disordered chain of representation, & does so by the actions of a display of images." - #Foucault
"There are certain terms in every language, which import blame and others praise. Every voice is united in applauding elegance, propriety, simplicity, spirit in writing; and in blaming fustian, affectation, coldness, and a false brilliancy." - #Hume
