Consciousness (here and now) is notfalse and misleading because of language; consciousness is language, andnothing else, because it is false and misleading.
~ Paul De Man
Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.
Fashion is like the ashes left behind by the uniquely shaped flames of the fire, the trace alone revealing that a fire actually took place.
