| c83728e | I never want to hear you use that excuse again, that because someone else has done--or would do--something means that you should too. It's lazy, repugnant, and indicative of an inferior mind. Am I clear? | Christopher Paolini | ||

| 6b6a43f | I contain more than my share of years. The memories of hundreds are mine. Life piled upon life: Loves, hates, battles, victories, defeats, lessons learned, mistakes made--all lies within my mind, whispering their wisdom into my ears. | Christopher Paolini | ||

| a8de050 | However, Oromis and I have had centuries to reconcile ourselves with the fact that such a parting is inevitable.

That which you will hear is imperfect and fragmented, yet treasure it, for without you it does not exist. I give you now a memory that has been forgotten, hidden in the dreamy haze that lies behind us. | Christopher Paolini | ||
| 5f784e4 | Porque una cicatriz significa que has sobrevivido. Significa que eres dura y que no es tan facil matarte. Significa que "has vivido". Una cicatriz es algo que hay que admirar.

| 8adc230 | Talvez, por menos oportuno que possa parecer, se devesse dizer mais uma vez: no mundo que sucedeu a graca, a arte foi o asilo das excecoes que restaram. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||

| 0e32338 | I only have one superstition: I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run. | Babe Ruth | ||
| 5a77bc7 | Not until Plato's Republic was a type of politician created who would no longer serve as a loudspeaker, but rather as a receiver of quiet ideas - with little success, as we know, as the introduction of the quiet politician is yet to come. It would be a contradiction in terms, for politics, as the art of what is possible in noise, remains assigned to the loud side of the phonotope | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| 8b8ea82 | If we extrapolate this position as a constant factor at work in the background character of twentieth-century culture, it is clear why a system like Steiner's has always risked being marginalized. After all, in many ways it is the epitome of uncoolness. Coolness will have nothing to do with improving life and the world. As soon as a dogooder enters the room, the coolness enthusiasts leave. KRIES: Has that changed today? SLOTERDIJK: Today's .. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| e56cb18 | Being-'subject' means taking up a position from which an actor can make the transition from theory to practice. This transition usually takes place once an actor has found the motive that liberates them from hesitation and disinhibits them for action. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| a8bfbf9 | Only the artistic will to transform the future into a space of unlimited art-elevating chances enables us to understand the core of the procreation rule: 'a creator shall you create [...] a self-propelling wheel, a first movement'. This rule contains no less than Nietzsche's theology after the death of God: there will continue to be a God and gods, but only humanity-immanent ones, and only to the extent that there are creators who follow on.. | artistry creation death-of-god god humanity immanence nietzsche thought-provoking | Peter Sloterdijk | |
| 5040065 | Statements such as 'There are systems, there are memories, there are cultures, there is artificial intelligence'76 depend on the statement 'There is information.' Also the statement 'There are genes' can only be understood as a product of the new situation--it indicates the leap of the principle of information into the sphere of nature. On the basis of these gains in concepts that are capable of seizing hold of reality, the interest in trad.. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| 9cba5aa | The human being does not hop out of the magician's hat in the way that the ape climbs down from the tree; he also does not emerge from the hand of a creator who surveys everything in advance with his foreknowledge. He is the product of a production that is not itself a human being. The human being was not yet what he would become before he became it. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| ea1dff2 | Let your deeds be your bond, not your promises and cajolery. | Elizabeth Chadwick | ||
| a8065ce | The domestication of the human being is the great unthought; it is that before which humanism from antiquity to the present day has averted its eyes. To appreciate this is sufficient to find oneself in deep water. Where we can no longer stand, the evidence rises over our heads that the educational taming and befriending of the human being could never have been accomplished with letters and words alone. To be sure, reading [Lesen] was a grea.. | lektionen lesen selektionen | Peter Sloterdijk | |
| c26d411 | If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around six hundred! | Babe Ruth | ||
| b36baa1 | It is not an overstatement if one characterizes this revision of the false metaphysical classification of beings as the contemporary gigantomachy that reaches deeply into ingrained human self-relations. Very many view this revision suspiciously as an expropriation of the self and condemn it as technological devilry. The uncanniness of the process is not to be denied, precisely because it impresses by means of its results. The humanistically.. | Peter Sloterdijk | ||
| de2b3c2 | With this project, Plato bears witness to an intellectual unrest in the human park, which could never again be entirely pacified. Ever since the Politikos and the Politeia [The Republic], there have been discourses in the world that speak of the human community as of a zoological park that is at the same time a theme park. Keeping human beings in parks or cities from now on appears to be a zoopolitical task. Whatever purports to be a reflec.. | platonic-zoo | Peter Sloterdijk | |
| 3b88c5d | The anti-technological hysteria that holds broad sections of the Western world in its grip is a product of metaphysics' decay: it is betrayed by the fact that it clings to false classifications of beings in order to revolt against processes in which the overcoming of these classifications has already been carried out. It is reactionary in the essential sense of the word, because it expresses the ressentiment of obsolete bivalence against a .. | Peter Sloterdijk |
