I used to think things were the way they are for a reason, that there was some hidden meaning. I used to think that this meaning governed the way the world was. But it's an illusion to think that there are good and bad reasons. Grammar is a lie to make us think that what we say is connected by a logic that you'll find if you study it, a lie that gone on for centuries. Because I now know that life just lurches between stability and instability and doesn't obey any law.

Delphine de ViganIโm not too keen on talking. I always have the feeling that the words are getting away from me, escaping and scattering. Itโs not to do with vocabulary or meanings, because I know quite a lot of words, but when I come out with them they get confused and scattered. Thatโs why I avoid stories and speeches and just stick to answering the questions Iโm asked. All the extra words, the overflow, I keep to myself, the words that I silently multiply to get close to the truth.
