“At times we think we know ourselves in time, when all we know is a sequence of fixations in the spaces of the being’s stability—a being who does not want to melt away, and who, even in the past, when he sets out in search of things past, wants time to “suspend” its flight. In its countless alveoli space contains compressed time.”

“Because we can rely on no settled identity nor even a settled, absolute, given world, we live with a fundamental anxiety.

We are forever becoming at home.”
