The police not only allowed her to bedazzle the cameras but even paid her a couple of thousand dollars. "I realized that they could not hear me when I spoke as an artist," Magrid later said. "This had nothing to do with what I proposed but with who I was."

Derek once asked if I was aware that a frog died when the Challenger exploded. Nope. It's true, he said: the pet frog of the son of the teacher who was supposed to go to space. Derek said he hoped the son had a new frog now. He said he knew how bad it feels to lose a pet. (tears)

A German friend said part of the reason for their generous benefits was that the state hoped to protect itself from fascism, which is typically born from desperate economic straits. I think about that a lot.

But the meaning is not simply in those things, but it's in them insofar as they subvert our expecations, the expectations we brought to them which nobody has said anything about at all.

Now what this means is in fact the process of representation has entered into the event itself. In a way, it doesn’t exist meaningfully until it has been represented, and to put that in a more high-falutin way is to say that representation doesn’t occur after the event; representation is constitutive of the event. It enters into the constitution of the object that we are talking about. It is part of the object itself; it is constitutive of it. It is one of its conditions of existence, and therefore representation is not outside the event, not after the event, but within the event itself; it is constitutive of it.
