“No one knows the opposition to ones salvation.”

“To know one thing, you must know the opposite.”

“...it is not possible to create the opposite of what one has always known, simply because the opposite is believed to be desired. Human beings need what they already know, even horrors.”

“One man carries salvation and damnation from the desert.”

“It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.”

“The notion that one must know history in order to understand the present has a certain justification when applied to the history of events, but not for the structural history of society. Rather, the opposite is the case: to examine the *constitution* of a particular social and economic structure, one has to be already familiar with the *completed* structure. Only then will one know what to look for in history.”
