Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else — an animals incomplete compared to a person… and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary. – Georges Bataille

The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility. – Georges Bataille
The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude. – Giordano Bruno
