Zitat des Tages von Hans-Georg Gadamer:
The real being of language is that into which we are taken up when we hear it - what is said.
The more language is a living operation, the less we are aware of it. Thus it follows from the self-forgetfulness of language that its real being consists in what is said in it.
The focus of subjectivity is a distorting mirror.
Nothing exists except through language.
It is one of the primary motives of modern art that it wants to abolish the distance which the viewer, the consumer, the audience maintain vis-a-vis a work of art.
I basically only read books that are over 2,000 years old.
In fact history does not belong to us; but we belong to it.
