Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural. ↗

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress. ↗

Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream. ↗
