Mari Ruti
“Schopenhauer once put it, we insist on living our lives "with great interest and much solicitude as long as possible, just as we blow out a soap-bubble as long and as large as possible, although with the perfect certainty that it will burst.”
Mari Ruti, A World of Fragile Things: Psychoanalysis and the Art of Living

Slavoj Žižek
“Because just as in more confused times, like today, we don’t just need experts. We also need people who will think more radically to arrive at the real root of problems. So the first thing to fight for, I think, is simply to make people, the experts in certain domains, be aware of not just accepting that there are problems, but of thinking more deeply. It is an attempt to make them see more. I think it can be done. I believe this may be the main task for today: to prevent the narrow production of experts. This tendency, as I see it, is just horrible. We need, more than ever, those who, in a general way of thinking, see the problems from a global perspective and even from a philosophical perspective.”
Slavoj Žižek, Demanding the Impossible

Slavoj Žižek
“What is “trueâ€� thinking? Thinking is not solving problems. The first step in thinking is to ask these sorts of questions: “Is this really a problem?â€� “Is this the right way to formulate the problem?â€� “How did we arrive at this?â€� This is the ability we need in thinking.”
Slavoj Žižek, Demanding the Impossible

“Don’t start from the good old things but the bad new ones.”
Benjamin Noys, Malign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism

Slavoj Žižek
“Strange Christianity, whose most pressing anxiety seems to be that God’s grace might prove to be all too free on this side, that hell, instead of being populated with so many people, might some day prove to be empty!”
Slavoj Žižek, Less than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism
