When I write, it's everything that we don't know we can be that is written out of me, without exclusions, without stipulation, and everything we will be calls us to the unflagging, intoxicating, unappeasable search for love. In one another we will never be lacking.
Helene CixousWriting is the delicate, difficult, and dangerous means of succeeding in avowing the unavowable.
Helene CixousMeditation needs no results. Meditation can have itself as an end, I meditate without words and on nothingness. What tangles my life is writing.
Helene CixousI do believe in poetry. I believe that there are creatures endowed with the power to put things together and bring them back to life
Helene CixousAnd I was afraid. She frightens me because she can knock me down with a word. Because she does not know that writing is walking on a dizzying silence setting one word after the other on emptiness. Writing is miraculous and terrifying like the flight of a bird who has no wings but flings itself out and only gets wings by flying.
