about

"Awaiting without horizon of the wait, awaiting what one does not expect yet or any longer, hospitality without reserve, welcoming salutation accorded in advance to the absolute surprise of the arrivant from whom or from which one will not ask anything in return and who or which will not be asked to commit to the domestic contracts of any welcoming power (family, state, nation, territory, native soil or blood, language, culture in general, even humanity), just opening which renounces any right to property, any right in general, messianic opening to what is coming, that is, to the event that cannot be awaited as such, or recognized in advance therefore, to the event as the foreigner itself, to her or to him for whom one must leave an empty place, always, in memory of the hope—and this is the very place of ghosts."

Jacques Derrida (Specters of Marx)

"He starts to climb the stairs. But tediously the paradox comes back. 'Expect the one you do not expect.' Very well; but must every beggar then be treated as a prodigal son, embraced, welcomed into the home, feasted?"

J.M.Coeztee (The Master of Petersburg)
