Power over what escapes Power

“Murder alone lays claim to total negation. Negation by labour and usage, like negation by representation, effect a grasp or a comprehension, rest on or aim at affirmation; they can. To kill is not to dominate but to annihilate, it is to renounce comprehension absolutely. Murder exercises a power over what escapes power.”

E. Levinas
