More quotes by Jacques Derrida
Deconstruction never had meaning or interest, at least in my eyes, than as a radicalization, that is to say, also within the tradition of a certain Marxism, in a certain spirit of Marxism.
Jacques Derrida
The boarding-school experience in Paris was very hard, I didn't put up with it very well. I was sick all the time, or in any case frail, on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
Jacques Derrida
I am one of those marranes who no longer say they are Jews even in the secret of their own hearts.
Jacques Derrida
The circle of the return to birth can only remain open, but this is a chance, a sign of life, and a wound.
Jacques Derrida
Beyond the touchline there is nothing.
Jacques Derrida
Even if we're in a state of hopelessness, a sense of expectation is an integral part of our relationship to time. Hopelessness is possible only because we do hope that some good, loving someone could come. If that's what Heidegger meant, then I agree with him.
Jacques Derrida
The blindness that opens the eye is not the one that darkens vision. Tears and not sight are the essence of the eye.
Jacques Derrida
We are all mediators, translators.
Jacques Derrida
I do everything I think possible or acceptable to escape from this trap.
Jacques Derrida
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
Jacques Derrida
In philosophy, you have to reckon with the implicit level of an accumulated reserve, and thus with a very great number of relays, with the shared responsibility of these relays.
Jacques Derrida
These critics organize and practice in my case a sort of obsessive personality cult which philosophers should know how to question and above all, to moderate.
Jacques Derrida
Each time this identity announces itself, someone or something cries: Look out for the trap, youre caught. Take off, get free, disengage yourself.
Jacques Derrida
Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'Here are our monsters,' without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
Jacques Derrida
Who ever said that one was born just once?
Jacques Derrida
We are given over to absolute solitude. No one can speak with us and no one can speak for us we must take it upon ourselves, each of us must take it upon himself.
Jacques Derrida
I am like a child ready for the apocalypse, I am the apocalypse itself, that is to say, the ultimate and first event of the end, the unveiling and the verdict.
Jacques Derrida
Every discourse, even a poetic or oracular sentence, carries with it a system of rules for producing analogous things and thus an outline of methodology.
Jacques Derrida
I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.
Jacques Derrida
No one gets angry at a mathematician or a physicist whom he or she doesn't understand, or at someone who speaks a foreign language, but rather at someone who tampers with your own language.
Jacques Derrida
