It is misleading to talk of time as if it is an object. Time is precisely non-objecthood in that every object in as much as it is an object must coincide with itself. 

. 102

Even the Gods must bow to the forces of indifference. 

. 101

The confusion between art and art history often leads to false evaluation of artists. An artist making an important art historical statement - as in Malevich's Black Square - is not necessarily making an important artistic statement.  

. 99

The foundation of every thought, the solution of every proposition, the management of every tension can be solved by perceiving that things simply exist. 

. 98

Every thought is a desire. 

. 97

Desire imposes a simultaneity on time. 

. 100

Religion can be like watching a movie, you know its fiction but you don't want somebody sitting next to you constantly reminding you of that fact.

. 96

Even an auto-referential proposition does not coincide with itself in time. Auto referentiality is only problematic as a form of self-coincidence. 

. 95

L'axiome est un principe qui se réfère à lui même pour sa propre justification. 

. 94

In every attempt to control thought there is a meta-thought that escapes control. 

. 97

Penser les dieux d'une manière immanante c'est dire qu'ils sont la plénitude des choses (ou de certaines choses).

Contemporary art is often creation from the edge of boredom.

A logical object is precisely an object in that it coincides with itself.

. 91

Space is that which coincides with itself. Time is that which does not. 

. 90

Logic is based on the premiss than an object always coincides with itself. That necessarily excludes temporality since the proposition "object X in time A" is not the same as "object X in time B".

. 89

We often produce knowledge to protect our sometimes-necessary capacity for untruth. 

. 88

Whatever does not coincide with itself is whatever resists generalization. It is fundamentally indescribable even by the current propositions. 

. 87

Singularity escapes generality into infinite complexity. 

. 86

An object in time does not coincide with itself. 

. 85

Even the most universal laws are singular. 

. 84

A generalization that does not negate itself is poverty. 

. 83

That which does not coincide with itself forever escapes generalizations. 

. 82

The ultimate thing we can say about anything is that it exists. Beyond that all is mystery.

. 81

We make noise to surround and give shape to the silence at the center. 

. 80

The greatest resistance one can offer pain is to recognize that it is true. 

. 79

It is very hard to remember that we don't control truth but that it controls us. 

. 78

Why should I ask questions about truth? Why shouldn't truth ask questions about me? 

. 77

Truth is larger than reality since it can determine what is real, what is not, what can be real and what cannot. 

. 76

Whatever is able to impose itself as beyond inquiry gains control. 

. 75

The refusal to generalize transforms the world into something unbearably beautiful. 

. 74

It is a matter of immense consolation that truth can resist any inquiry, no matter how violent.
