Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

communism of writing

"One must think and write, in particular as regards
friendship, against great numbers. Against the most
numerous who make language and lay down the law of its
usage. Against hegemonic language in what is called
public space. If there were a community, even a
communism, of writing, it would above all be on condition
that war be waged on those, the greatest in number, the
strongest and the weakest at the same time, who forge and
appropriate for themselves the dominant usages of
language[.]" -- Jacques Derrida, "Politics of Friendship"
(p. 71 Verso edn)
