    “By focusing attention on the so-called “objective” consensus about a given object, our culture takes the most superficial layer of reality to be the primary one and thus fails to realize that it is the sum total of the different perspectives on the object that constitute its multidimensional reality. It is the so-called subjective dimension…

  • Dharma – Artha – Kama

    Întâi, prețuiești cele mai presus de tine: te închini zeilor, aduci ofrande, respecți societatea. Fără astea nu ești nimic, un om în izolare, un hoit în descompunere pe-un drum. Apoi, te cultivi cu grijă pe tine: intelectul, curajul, frumosul, averea. Aduni înțelepciune, cunoaștere, caracter neclintit – bogății strălucind înmiresmate. Iar în cele din urmă, te…

    “Wahre Worte sind nicht schön, schöne Worte sind nicht wahr. Tüchtigkeit überredet nicht, Überredung ist nicht tüchtig. Der Weise ist nicht gelehrt, der Gelehrte ist nicht weise. Der Berufene häuft keinen Besitz auf. Je mehr er für andere tut, desto mehr besitzt er. Je mehr er anderen gibt, desto mehr hat er. Des Himmels SINN…

    “The closet is not just for gay people. (…) Everybody’s closeted and everybody plays pretend. They all walk around saying ‘I am’, even though they have no idea who they are. What they’re often saying is, ‘I want to make you feel comfortable, so I’m going to contort myself into who I think that you…

    “Reason answered, ‘It is he or she who is the more virtuous who is the superior being: human superiority or inferiority is not determined by sexual difference but by the degree to which one has perfected one’s nature and morals.’” Christine de Pizan – The Book of the City of Ladies (Penguin, ebook, p. 23)

    “One does not give birth in pain, one gives birth to pain: the child represents it and henceforth it settles in, it is continuous. Obviously you may close your eyes, cover up your ears, teach courses, run errands, tidy up the house, think about objects, subjects. But a mother is always branded by pain, she…

  • The Gender Dance

    Today is International Women’s Day. Below is a text I wrote a while ago, which sadly remains valid today and sheds some light on the place of women in society, asymmetrical relationships, gender expectations, and the thorny consent issue. It’s my sophomore year in high school. I’m with my class on one of those overnight…

    “The person who said: love is a matter of the epidermis was undoubtedly referring to this inferior knowledge of the body, to the fact that possession is possible only under certain physical conditions and for certain human specimens. But the body can reveal more. Beyond voluptuousness, beyond lust, a consummate self-rediscovery is possible in that…
