Walter Benjamin
Frases de Walter Benjamin
“Mankind, which in Homer’s time was an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, now is one for itself.”
Crítica Social “To articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it 'the way it really was'. It means to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger.”
Filosófico “There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism.”
Reflexão “History is the subject of a structure whose site is not homogeneous, empty time, but time filled by the presence of the now [Jetztzeit].”
Filosófico “Happiness is being able to dive into oneself without fear.”
Reflexão “The gift of fanning the spark of hope in the past is the exclusive privilege of the historian who is convinced that even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins.”
Crítica Social “To perceive the aura of an object we look at means to invest it with the ability to look at us in return.”
Estética “To live is to leave traces.”
Existencial “Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage.”
Filosófico “Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector's passion borders on the chaos of memories.”
