Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida
We are all mediators, translators.
Jacques Derrida
Cinema plus Psychoanalysis equals the Science of Ghosts.
Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida

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
These years of the Ecole Normale were an ordeal. Nothing was handed to me on the first try.
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
Beyond the touchline there is nothing.
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
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
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
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
Jacques Derrida
