Georges Bataille
“Laughing at the universe liberated my life. I escape its weight by laughing. I refuse any intellectual translations of this laughter, since my slavery would commrnce from that point on.”
Georges Bataille, Guilty

Tahar Djaout
“Silence is death, and you, if you talk, you die, and if you remain silent, you die. So, speak out and die.”
Tahar Djaout

Georges Bataille
“I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction.”
Georges Bataille, Violent Silence: Celebrating Georges Bataille

“Was I bored? No, I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody – you're all so bored. You've 'ad nature explained to you, and you're bored with it. You've 'ad the living body explained to you, and you're bored with it. You've 'ad the universe explained to you, and you're bored with it. So now you just want cheap thrills and like plenty of 'em, and it dun matter 'ow tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new, as long as it's new, as long as it flashes and fucking bleeps in forty different colours.”
Mike Leigh, Naked

Tahar Djaout
“Happy people have neither age nor memory, they have no need of the past.”
Tahar Djaout, L'invention Du Desert
