"This is a good time to reflect [...]", (Rami G. Khouri 2009-2010)

"This is a good time to reflect on the causes of our deterioration, so that we and our leaders do not collectively act like buffoons and simply perpetuate the mistakes that have defined our inauspicious start of this third millennium"

From article "A bad decade" written by Rami G. Khouri and published on a final day of third millenniums very first decade in International Herald Tribune (thursday-friday, december 31 - january 1, 2009-2010)

"The point is to make a difference in the world, to cast our lot for some ways of life and not others", (Haraway 1997: 36)

"The point is to make a difference in the world, to cast our lot for some ways of life and not others. To do that, one must be in the action, be finite and dirty, not transcendent and clean"

"Framing provides a means of 'constructing a world' [...]", (Bruner 2000 [1990]: 56)

"Framing provides a means of 'constructing a world', of characterizing its flow, of segmenting events within that world, and so on. If we were not able to do such framing, we would be lost in a murk of chaotic experience and probably would not have survived as a species in any case",

"I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think ...", (Lacan 1977: 166)

"I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think... I am not wherever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think", (Lacan 1977: 166)

"we do not know how we live", (Lefebvre 2008 [1947]: 195)

"'Consciousness of life' - can those words be right? Are we conscious of our own lives? The words which spring to our lips, the ideas and images at our disposal, are they kind to allow us a true consciousness of our lives? ... No! Our lives are still unrealized, and our consciousness is false. It is not only our consciousness which is false: it is only false because our lives are still alienated. False representations bring with them a false consciousness of what an unrealized life is; in other words they do not bring an awareness of the non-realization (of the degree of non-realization) of human life: they present it as either realized (which leads to vulgar or moral satisfaction) or unrealizable (which leads to anguish or the desire for a different life).
More precisely, nowadays, we do not know how we live. And at the end of our lives, we scarcely know how we have lived them. And how bitter this unhappy consciousness is..."
