Memory as an inversion of historical time is the essence of interiority.

Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love without reward is valuable.

Memory as an inversion of historical time is the essence of interiority.

Politics is opposed to morality, as philosophy to naïveté.

Of course we do not live in order to eat, but it is not really true to say that we eat in order to live; we eat because we are hungry. Desire has no further intentions behind it... it is a good will.

If one could possess, grasp, and know the other, it would not be other.

Love remains a relation with the Other that turns into need, transcendent exteriority of the other, of the beloved. But love goes beyond the beloved... The possibility of the Other appearing as an object of a need while retaining his alterity, or again,the possibility of enjoying the Other... this simultaneity of need and desire, or concupiscence and transcendence,... constitutes the originality of the erotic which, in this sense, is the equivocal par excellence.
