Das kommende Erwachen steht wie das Holzpferd der Griechen im Troja des Traumes.

—Walter Benjamin, Das Passagen-Werk, Konvolut K

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves the other has fulfilled the law. For the commandment, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is recapitulated in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. And this knowing the kairos, that the hour has come already for you to awaken out of sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far advanced, the day is drawn near. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. As in the day, let us conduct ourselves decently, not in revelries and drinking bouts, not in sexual excesses and debaucheries, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Messiah, and do not make provision for the flesh, toward desires.

—Romans 13:8–14
