The novelty of the coming politics is that it will no longer be a struggle for the conquest or control of the State, but a struggle between the State and the non-state (humanity), an insurmountable disjunction between whatever singularity and the State organization.
Giorgio Agamben

The face is at once the irreparable being-exposed of humans and the very opening in which they hide and stay hidden. The face is the only location of community, the only possible city.
Giorgio Agamben

Artistic subjectivity without content is now the pure force of negation that everywhere and at all times affirms only itself as absolute freedom that mirrors itself in pure self-consciousness.
Giorgio Agamben

This fascination of not uttering something absolutely.
Giorgio Agamben

Image of an angel that writes nothing but its potentiality to not-write.
Giorgio Agamben
