Starting out from something that is simply an encounter, a trifle, you learn that you can experience the world on the basis of difference and not only in terms of identity … Love is a quest for truth. . . . What kind of world does one see when one experiences it from the point of view of two and not one? What is the world when it is experienced, developed, and lived from the point of view of difference and not identity? . . . It is an existential project: to construct a world from a de-centered point of view, other than that of my mere impulse to survive or re-affirm my own identity. . . . Love possesses [the power] to slice diagonally through the most powerful oppositions and radical separations. . . . it unleashes a process that is basically an experience of getting to know the world. {Alain Badiou}
