Risked Universe
Dream21, Safwan Dahoul (2009) » Compared to the person I love, the universe seems poor and empty. This universe isn't 'risked' since it's not 'perishable'. [...] I love irreligiousness, the disrespect involved in risk taking and gambling. In risk taking, I sometimes push my luck so far that I lose even anguish as a possibility. Anguish in this case would be withdrawal from risk. Love is my necessity. I'm impelled to drift into happiness, sensing chance there. First rapturously to win - then laceratingly to let go of the winnings - in a game that exhausts me. — The Bataille Reader , Edited by Fred Botting and Scott Wilson
