  • Create Through Love (Guiding Axiom 7/7) | IR #16

    “I was always disgusted with this notion of “I love the world” universal love. I don’t like the world. I don’t know how… Basically, I’m somewhere in between “I hate the world” or “I’m indifferent towards it.” But the whole of reality, it’s just it. It’s stupid. It is out there. I don’t care about it. Love, for me, is an extremely violent act. Love is not “I love you all.” Love means I pick out something, and it’s, again, this structure of imbalance. Even if this something is just a small detail… a fragile individual person… I say “I love you more than anything else.” In this quite formal sense, love is evil.” ― Slavoj Žižek

  • Embody Humility Without Vanity (Guiding Axiom 6/7) | IR #15

    “Our honesty, we free spirits—let us be careful lest it become our vanity, our ornament and ostentation, our limitation, our stupidity! Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; ‘stupid to the point of sanctity,’ they say in Russia,—let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores!” ― Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil, A. 227)
