" Some strangers are not, however, the as-yet-undecided; they are, in principle, undecidables. They are the premonition of that `third element' which should not be. These are the true hybrids, the monsters - not just unclassified, but unclassifiable. They do not question just this one opposition here and now: they question oppositions as such, the very principle of opposition, the plausibility of dichotomy it suggests and feasibility of separation it demands. They unmask the brittle artificiality of division. They destroy the world. "
