“Socialisten zijn mensen met gewetensbezwaren over het geld dat andere mensen verdienen. Zodra ze zelf wat verdienen: niet alleen geen gewetensbezwaren, maar ook nog niet eens tevreden.”

“These conservative critics call for a return to “family values,” to a world in which prohibition kept us safe from outbreaks of enjoyment. This desire for a return to the past, however, is rarely genuine. Which is to say, such proclamations don’t really want the return to the past that they claim to want. Instead, they want the best of both worlds—the “benefits” of modernity (computers, cars, televisions) without their effects (isolation, enjoyment, narcissism)—and fail to grasp the interdependence of the benefits and the effects”

“In valuing the image over the word, we fall victim to the image’s appearance of full revelation. Whereas the word prompts suspicion and questioning, the image produces belief and devotion. It is in this sense that Gilroy sees a latent fascism in the contemporary elevation of the image. The image today signifies the possibility of a completely successful process of manipulation.”

“Och Karel, eigenlijk ben je zo goed. Soms wil je alleen het slechtste, het allerslechtste in de mensen zien, maar je meent het niet. Altijd beweer je dat liefde maar onzin is, dat haat en eigenbelang de enige dingen zijn die tussen de mensen blijven op den duur. Eigenlijk houd je veel te veel van mij.”
