More quotes by Jacques Derrida
Surviving - that is the other name of a mourning whose possibility is never to be awaited.
Jacques Derrida
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.
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
I’m no good for anything except taking the world apart and putting it together again (and I manage the latter less and less frequently).
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
Beyond the touchline there is nothing.
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
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
The trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die it is impossible to exit this structure it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing.
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
Such a caring for death, an awakening that keeps vigil over death, a conscience that looks death in the face, is another name for freedom.
Jacques Derrida
Who ever said that one was born just once?
Jacques Derrida
If things were simple, word would have gotten around.
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
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.
Jacques Derrida
Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'Here are our monsters,' without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
Jacques Derrida
I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.
Jacques Derrida
I rightly pass for an atheist.
Jacques Derrida
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
Jacques Derrida
I do everything I think possible or acceptable to escape from this trap.
Jacques Derrida
