Authenticity is that which the writer should aim at. Never originality.

Authenticity is a prerequisite for love. Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.

Authenticity is not a condition that has been detached from the 'they'; it is rather an existentiell modification of the 'they', it is about finding a different way of relating to others such that one is not lost to the they-self.

Authenticity is always repeating inherited possibility.

Expertise is to be taken seriously — A blind man is no judge of colors.

Expertise requires skill and practice — A pair of light shoes is not all that is needed for dancing.

Expertise is unappreciated by the rabble — Only an owl knows the worth of an owl.

Expertise is less valuabel in times of utter catastrophe — Even the best pilots are willing to take advice from their passengers in bad weather.

History is rooted in the future

History is that terrible mill in which sawdust rejoins sawdust.

History is a bath of blood.

History is a picture book rather than a repertoire of notions.
