Jacques Derrida
I rightly pass for an atheist.
Jacques Derrida
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.

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
Surviving - that is the other name of a mourning whose possibility is never to be awaited.
Jacques Derrida
Cinema plus Psychoanalysis equals the Science of Ghosts.
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
We are all mediators, translators.
Jacques Derrida
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
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.
