More quotes by Alain Badiou
The cinema is a place of intrinsic indiscernibility between art and non-art.
Alain Badiou
Those who have nothing have only their discipline.
Alain Badiou
Without mathematics, we are blind.
Alain Badiou
Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.
Alain Badiou
There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.
Alain Badiou
Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.
Alain Badiou
Truth is a new word in Europe (and elsewhere).
Alain Badiou
Love can only consist in failure...on the fallacious assumption that it is a relationship. But it is not. It is a production of truth.
Alain Badiou
Art attests to what is inhuman in man.
Alain Badiou
These latter institutions [the civil service, trade unions, media of all kinds], notably of course television, but more subtly the written press, are quite spectacular powers of unreason and ignorance.
Alain Badiou
Emancipatory politics always consists in making seem possible precisely that which, from within the situation, is declared to be impossible.
Alain Badiou
We have the riots we deserve.
Alain Badiou
There is no ethics in general. There are only-eventually-ethics of processes by which we treat the possibilities of a situation.
Alain Badiou
We could say that love is a tenacious adventure. The adventurous side is necessary, but equally so is the need for tenacity. To give up at the first hurdle, the first quarrel, is only to distort love. Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space and the world.
Alain Badiou
I feel really assured by the fact that the women I have loved I have loved for always.
Alain Badiou
The absolute contingency of the encounter takes on the appearance of destiny. The declaration of love marks the transition from chance to destiny and that's why it is so perilous and so burdened with a kind of horrifying stage fright.
Alain Badiou
In order to improve democracy, then, it's necessary to change the people, as Brecht ironically proposed.
Alain Badiou
Love is not a contract between two narcissists.
Alain Badiou
It must be said that today, at the end of its semantic evolution, the word 'terrorist' is an intrinsically propagandistic term. It has no neutral readability. It dispenses with all reasoned examination of political situations, of their causes and consequences.
Alain Badiou
All resistance is a rupture with what is. And every rupture begins, for those engaged in it, through a rupture with oneself.
Alain Badiou
