«Finally, it does not involve a future with the unfolding of time and its uncertainties, or anyway its successive moments. It is not a successive time but a sort of immediate time, gathered up into a point, which must make one consider that all the worst misfortunes of the world, which will happen to you anyway, are already present. They are imminent with regard to the present you are living. You see then that it is not at all a case of thinking about the future that is an exception to the general mistrust of thinking about the future. In reality, within this mistrust, it is a nullification of the future by making everything possi­ble present, if you like, in a sort of present test of thought. We do not start from the present in order to simulate the future: we give ourselves the entire future in order to simulate it as present. It is therefore a nullification of the future».
-Michel Foucault, The Hermeneutics of the Subject (clase del 24 de marzo de 1982)

“And we can feel shame at being human in utterly trivial situations, too: in the face of too great a vulgarization of thinking, in the face of TV entertainment, of a ministerial speech, of ‘jolly people’ gossiping. This is one of the most powerful incentives towards philosophy”
-Gilles Deleuze, Negotiations

Soy viejo de cuerpo y joven de espíritu
Me pasa la cuenta esta actitud
Mucho vicio y poca virtud
Uno más de la multitud

«La vida y los sucesos que se desplegaban ante mí sin tener nada que ver conmigo, y en lugares ajenos a mí, pero que sin embargo atraían mis sentidos, encajaban en mi definición de ‘cosas trágicas’.»
