Hope is reactionary: it cocoons actuality in the gossamer of the tolerable, dulling
the thirst for change.

Despair is revolutionary: it grinds the knife-edge of the intolerable against the
whetstone of actuality, sparking the will to change.

Whoever tolerates the present will never risk everything to change it.

Only those who realize they have no future left to lose will be willing to stake everything on the total transformation of the present; a transformation in which every envisageable future is abolished, the better to invite the facelessness of what will come.
The only appropriate mode of thinking for a culture on the edge of extinction is the thinking that stimulates pain.
