"Men who refuse and who are tied by the force of refusal know that they are not yet together. The time of joint affirmation is precisely that of which they have been deprived. What they are left with is the irreducible refusal, the friendship of this certain, unshakable, rigorious No that keeps them unified and bound by solidarity"

Arbejde
"The glorification of work as a prototypically human endeavor, as the key both to social belonging and individual achievement, constitutes the fundamental ideological foundation of contemporary capitalism: it was built on the basis of this ethic, which continues to serve the system's interests and rationalize it outcomes"

Ekstase, depression, integritet
"For projektet er det fængsel, som jeg vil rømme fra (projektet, den diskursive eksistens): jeg har dannet mig det projekt at undslippe projektet! Og jeg ved, at jeg blot behøver at knække diskursens tråd i mig, straks dukker ekstasen op; kun diskursen fjerner mig fra den, kun den diskursive tanke forråder den [...]"
Georges Bataille: Den indre erfaring
"The depressive mood constitutes itself as a narcissistic support, negative to be sure, but nevertheless presenting the self with an integrity, nonverbal though it might be. Because of that, the depressive affect makes up for symbolic invalidation and interruption (the depressive's 'that's meaningless') and at the same time protects it against proceeding to the suicidal act. That protection, however, is a flimsy one. The depressive denial that destroys the meaning of the symbolic also destroys the act's meaning and leads the subject to commit suicide without anguish of disintegration, as a reuniting with archaic non-integration, as lethal as it is jubilatory, 'oceanic'"

Misbrug
Min krop er et system af tråde der snøres sammen. Jeg bruger misbruget som et skelet til dagen og som dagens tilladelse. Det er ikke en fejludvikling eller en dårlig ven, for det virker. Ofte optræder det som eneste ambulance.
En aften hvor jeg ikke kunne sove løb jeg rundt i gaderne og tænkte på at slå noget i stykker, selv om jeg synes det lyder patetisk nu. Jeg er lige ved at sige 'det offentlige rum' om det sted jeg har lyst til at slå i stykker. Det er for meget. Som om jeg står og sparker til en bygning. Man skal selv være en bygning.

Maske/angst
"Descartes' motto: 'Larvatos prodeo' [jeg fremtræder maskeret]; det, som fremtræder maskeret, er: at jeg er angst og jeg tænker, og tanken i mig udsætter angsten, jeg er et væsen udstyret med evnen til i sig at udsætte selve væren"
