What Matters Most

Here is my favorite Žižek quotation:
"The division it mobilizes is not the division between two well-defined social groups, but the division, which runs 'diagonally' to the social division in the order of Being, between those who recognize themselves in the call of the Truth-Event, becoming its followers, and those who deny or ignore it."
The Ticklish Subject, p. 227
