"Time becomes transparent when it is leveled into a sequentially available present. Accordingly, the future is also positivized into an optimal present.
Transparent time is time without destiny or events.
Only machines are that transparent. (...)
Human beings are not even transparent to themselves (...) (and) the very tenderness refers to none other than the tenderness of respect for an ultimately ineradicable otherness.

(...) Both inspiration and thinking require a void. Incidentally, the German word Glück (happiness) derives from Lücke (gap or blank). In Middle High German Glück was still written as gelücke."
