• It is an error to divide people into the living and the dead: there are people who are dead-alive, and people who are alive-alive. The dead-alive also write, walk, speak, act. But they make no mistakes; only machines make no mistakes, and they produce only dead things. The alive-alive are constantly in error, in search, in questions, in torment.

• Todas las verdades son erróneas. Esta es la esencia misma del proceso dialéctico: las verdades de hoy se convierten en errores mañana; no hay un número final. Esta verdad (la única) es sólo para los fuertes. Las mentes débiles insisten en un universo finito, en un último número; necesitan, en palabras de Nietzsche, "las muletas de la certeza". Los débiles nerviosos carecen de la fuerza necesaria para incluirse en el silogismo dialéctico.
