Random quote

The modern state, the rule of the bourgeoisie, is based on freedom of labour...Freedom of Labour is free competition of the workers among themselves...Labor is free in all civilized countries; it is not a matter of freeing labor but of abolishing it.
— Karl Marx, The German Ideology (1846)

Once I was struck by a car in the street. I was walking. And for maybe two seconds I had the impression that I was dying and it was really a very, very intense pleasure. The weather was wonderful. It was seven o’clock during the summer. The sun was descending. The sky was very wonderful and blue and so on. It was, it still is now, one of my best memories [laughter].
— Michel Foucault, 1983 Interview
