“D(r5)=D(r4)×5=24×5=120
The pleasure associated with fascist life is thus 120 times less than the pleasure that will one day be associated with communist life.”
Alain Badiou, Plato's Republic, p. 311

Plato on Youth
The young people in Plato's dialogues tend to be uninspiring Yes-men, yet... he is careful to show that Socrates is persecuted precisely for sufficiently arguing for young people to take up the Idea of communism.

Montesquieu on work....
“They
who love to inform themselves, are never idle. Though I have no
business of consequence to take care of, I am nevertheless
continually employed. I spend my life in examining things: I write
down in the evening whatever I have remarked, what I have seen, and
what I have heard in the day: every thing engages my attention, and
every thing excites my wonder: I am like an infant, whose organs, as
yet tender, are strongly affected by the slightest
objects.”
― Montesquieu, Persian Letters

Paul Celan, THREADSUNS , from BREATHTURN
THREADSUNS
above the grayblack wastes.
A tree-
high thought
grasps the light-tone: there are
still songs to sing beyond
mankind.
