❝ No one gets angry at a mathematician or a physicist whom he or she doesn’t understand, or at someone who speaks a foreign language, but rather at someone who tampers with your own language. ❞
Jacques Derrida (via halfpasttwelve)
❝ If right or law stems from vengeance, as Hamlet seems to complain that it does—before Nietzsche, before Heidegger, before Benjamin—can one not yearn for a justice that one day, a day belonging no longer to history, a quasi-messianic day, would finally be removed from the fatality of vengeance? Better than removed: infinitely foreign, heterogeneous at its source? ❞
Jacques Derrida, Specters of Marx (via rhizombie)
❝ So if there’s a real future beyond this other ‘known’ future, it’s l’avenir; in that it’s the coming of the Other, when I am completely unable to foresee their arrival. ❞
Jacques Derrida (via halfpasttwelve)
