Shakespeare, "Troilus and Cressida"

AGAMEMNON - "Speak, prince of Ithaca; and be't of less expect That matter needless, of importless burden, Divide thy lips, than we are confident, When rank Thersites opes his mastic jaws, We shall hear music, wit and oracle."

"The destructive character lives from the feeling, not that life is worth living, but that suicide is not worth the trouble." --Walter Benjamin


“Everywhere one seeks to produce meaning, to make the world signify, to render it visible. We are not, however, in danger of lacking meaning; quite the contrary, we are gorged with meaning and it is killing us.” ― Jean Baudrillard

    Midsommer's Eve

The word "apocalypse" originally meant "unveiling". Myth is merely discourse ephemeral to violence. Myth transfigures the murdered scapegoats into gods. And religious rituals reenact the founding murder through the sacrifice of human or animal substitutes, thereby creating a kind of peace that is always mixed with a certain amount of violence. The centrality of sacrifice was so great that those who managed to defer, or avoid execution, became the objects of veneration.

"Degustibus non est disputandum." (About taste there can be no argument.)
