For a politics of emancipation, the enemy that is to be feared most is not repression at the hands of the established order. It is the interiority of nihilism, and the unbounded cruelty that can come with its emptiness.

In love, fidelity signifies this extended victory: the randomness of an encounter defeated day after day through the invention of what will endure.

If you limit yourself to sexual pleasure it's narcissistic. You don't connect with the other, you take what pleasure you want from them.

Love without risk is an impossibility, like war without death.

Love can only consist in failure...on the fallacious assumption that it is a relationship. But it is not. It is a production of truth.
