Emancipatory politics always consists in making seem possible precisely that which, from within the situation, is declared to be impossible.

We could say that love is a tenacious adventure. The adventurous side is necessary, but equally so is the need for tenacity. To give up at the first hurdle, the first quarrel, is only to distort love. Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space and the world.

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.

The absolute contingency of the encounter takes on the appearance of destiny. The declaration of love marks the transition from chance to destiny and that's why it is so perilous and so burdened with a kind of horrifying stage fright.

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.

Emancipatory politics always consists in making seem possible precisely that which, from within the situation, is declared to be impossible.

There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.
