I speak only one language, and it is not my own.

If things were simple, word would have gotten around.

Actually, when I write, there is a feeling of necessity, of something that is stronger than myself that demands that I must write as I write.

One often speaks without seeing, without knowing, without meaning what one says.

Everything is arranged so that it be this way, this is what is called culture.

I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations. I think that deconstruction is affirmative rather than questioning: this affirmation goes through some radical questioning, but it is not questioning in the field of analysis.

That is what deconstruction is made of: not the mixture but the tension between memory, fidelity, the preservation of something that has been given to us, and, at the same time, heterogeneity, something absolutely new, and a break.
