Honoré de Balzac
“Behind every great fortune there is a crime.”
Honoré de Balzac

Slavoj Žižek
“The only way to survive such shitty times, if you ask me, is to write and read big, fat books, you know? And I’m writing now another book on Hegelian dialectics, subjectivity, ontology, quantum physics and so on. That’s the only way to survive. Like Lenin. I will use his example. You know what Lenin did, in 1915, when World War I exploded? He went to Switzerland and started to read Hegel.”
Slavoj Žižek

Vladimir Lenin
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
Lenin

Mao Zedong
“Everything under heaven is in utter choas; the situation is excellent.”
mao tse-tung

Rainer Maria Rilke
“we are continually overflowing toward those who preceded us, toward our origin, and toward those who seemingly come after us. ... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again “invisibly,” inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
