This is straight out of my Grandmother’s mouth.
“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. The lives that you admire, the attitudes that seem noble to you, have not been shaped by a paterfamilias or a schoolmaster, they have sprung from very different beginnings, having been influenced by evil or commonplace that prevailed round them. They represent a struggle and a victory.”
Jacques Derrida
(…) the entire history of the concept of structure, before the rupture of which we are speaking, must be thought of as a series of substitutions of centre for centre, as a linked chain of determinations of the centre. Successively, and in a regulated fashion, the centre receives different forms or names. The history of metaphysics, like the history of the West, is the history of these metaphors and metonymies. Its matrix […] is the determination of Being as presence in all senses of this word. It could be shown that all the names related to fundamentals, to principles, or to the centre have always designated an invariable presence – eidos, archē, telos, energeia, ousia (essence, existence, substance, subject), alētheia, transcendentality, consciousness, God, man, and so forth. – ”Structure, Sign and Play” in Writing and Difference, p. 353.

Get me a ruler I want you to know
Slicin’ up eyeballs I want you to know
Chien Andalusia I am un….
I’m assuming its intentional that he’s pronouncing un in Spanish (or French feminine) because it DEBASES the whole phrase ” Un Chien Andalusia” when pronounced incorrectly (or correctly incorrectly) like this.
—you catch my drift?
