  • He said "Laughing in the cultural industry is mockery of happiness" and he is still true. It doesn't have anything to do with humor...

  • Ere this I should have fatted all the region kites with this slave's offal: bloody, bawdy villain! Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain! O, vengeance!

  • the nodding man rules!

  • @kristopaivinen ideally its to find the balance between responsibility and self

  • @shikomee Adorno said: "Everyone says Beckett is a reduction of tecnique to the extreme, I said that myself and it is nothing special about it to say that. But this reduction is what the world makes out of us, to talk with Karl Kraus. This is what the world is doing to us. These human stubs. These humans that lost their "I" - they are the products of the world they live in."

    No, it's not that romantic. I don't believe that it's so easy to become a german citizen. and you have to think about the way, how immigrants are treated in this country. the politicians and a lot of "intellectuals" are talking about some crazy kind of "parallel-society". the germans are still supposed to believe, that they are differnt from other people, that "being german" (wich is actually not possible) seperates you. this seperation effectuates defensiveness and anger.
