"If you don't admire something, if you don't love it, you have no reason to write a word about it. Spinoza or Nietzsche are philosophers whose critical and destructive powers are without equal, but this power always springs from affirmation, from joy, from a cult of affirmation and joy, from the exigency of life against those who would mutulate and mortify life. For me, that is philosophy itself."
"For me, a text is nothing but a cog in a larger extra-textual practice. It's not about using deconstruction, or any other texual practice, to do textual commentary; it's about seeing what one can do with an extra-texual practice that extends the text. You ask me whether I believe in nomads as an answer. Yes, I do."
