“Of all ridiculous things in the world what strikes me as the most ridiculous of all is being busy in the world, to be a man quick to his meals and quick to his work. So when, at the crucial moment, I see a fly settle on such a businessman’s nose […] or a tile falls from the roof and strikes him dead, I laugh from the bottom of my heart. And who could help laughing? For what do they achieve, these busy botchers?” — S. Kierkegaard

“Force is not to be confused with power. Force arrives from outside to break constraints and open new vistas. Power builds walls.”
— B. Massumi
