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.

Contrary to what phenomenology- which is always phenomenology of perception- has tried to make us believe, contrary to what our desire cannot fail to be tempted into believing, the thing itself always escapes.

I became the stage for the great argument between Nietzsche and Rousseau. I was the extra ready to take on all the roles.

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.

I say things that contradict each other, that are in real tension with each other, that compose me, that make me live, and that will make me die.

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

The first problem of the media is posed by what does not get translated, or even published in the dominant political languages.
