Writing is the passageway, the entrance, the exit, the dwelling place of the other in me.
Helene CixousWhen 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 CixousCensor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard.
Helene CixousWomen must write through their bodies, they must invent the impregnable language that will wreck partitions, classes, and rhetorics, regulations and codes, they must submerge, cut through, get beyond the ultimate reverse-discourse, including the one that laughs at the very idea of pronouncing the word "silence"...In one another we will never be lacking.
