Reactionary modernism is a term first coined by Jeffrey Herf in the 1980s, to describe the mixture of "great enthusiasm for modern technology with a rejection of the Enlightenment and the values and institutions of liberal democracy" which was characteristic of the German Conservative Revolutionary movement and Nazism.

the quest for happiness and gratification freed from fear and guilt

happiness of all must depend on the happiness of each

the consciousness of the wish to live and of its possible fulfilment stymies the death reflex which is its reverse; when, throwing despair itself into despair, one finds oneself to be a human being capable of constructing one's own happiness while at the same time nourishing that of others.

“Russians could say: If you tie yourself to the tree, they will simply cut your down together with the tree. At this struggle, all means are good enough: if you cannot love your homeland as a human being, if the enemy pushes you out, love it like a plant – stay, resist; or love it like a beast – run, attack, or escape, but don’t leave them your homeland; just pack it in your heart and take it with you wherever you go.”
_Oxana Timofeeva

from a. hemon 'this does not belong to you'

page17 - home is a place where there is a void when you're not there; home is what your body fills out.
page 21 - for the world to exist there have to be objects, and inside those objects there has to be nothing, and inside that nothing there must be memories, and inside those memories there are snakes.
page 24 - death takes place when you can't recall the moment that precedes the present moment.
page 51 - the eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
page 63 - there was so much life everywhere, nothing could ever end it; our killing was life, we lived it.
for the purposes of the continuation of the whole project of life...death was not a solution to the problem of life, because life was not a problem at all.
page 64 - only that which is difficult or impossible to remember is worth remembering.
page 66 - if i forget, it will vanish again, and it will never have existed. a memory, like a picture, is a model of reality.
page 76 - two versions: memory and imagery - what can be shown cannot be said, which is to say that the versions are mutually exclusive.
page 90 - don't get used to what is here, now, for only that which could be becomes what is good.
page 95 - just a body that loved itself, untouchable
page 101 - there are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. the struggle never ends. why she had to go, i don't know.
page 103 - the freedom of the will is in the impossibility of knowing actions that still lie in the future.
page 109 - first you accumulate not understanding, then information, then knowledge, then - rarely - understanding, then your mind dies, then you die. i fought the law, and the law won.
page 113 - what does it want, except to live, to live on? I never know, it never tells me exactly when i'm awake. If i could please it by living forever, maybe it would let me remember everything. The solution to the problem of life, to the problem of forgetting, remembering.
page 115 - merely worried about everything ...if the night is endless, insomnia is no problem...the dream of an endless night
page 116 - if the world is to have an unalterable form, there must be objects, and rooms.
he who defines personal identity as the private possession of some depository of memories is mistaken.
page 120 - if the exercise of the will does alter the world, it alters only its limits, none of the facts. the world of a happy man is different from of the unhappy one.
page 140 - there is always tomorrow, because there is always today. there is always morning, because there is always day.
page 163 - we never explored the nature, it was there nut not there, it was and it wasn't
page 179 - without us there, there was no life; no one cooked, no one went to the bathroom, no one washed hands, no one drank coffee, no one turned on the lights, no one lived there
page 180 - before we returned there would be nothing, and then, within a moment, there would be everything, because we were there, and there was a here that belonged to us, that was us.

'The Hole Theory' by William Pope L.'
5.1 Longing is my favorite material for engaging holes.
6. ...holes are occasions - opportunities which can take many forms, materials and durations.
6.1 The form, material and durational
aspect of a hole can affect its nature (imagine a hole that is only aspect or affect).
7. Holes are not the point.
Holes are empty theory.
7.1 Hole theory explains nothing...
To engage everything.
