More quotes by 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
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
As soon as there is language, generality has entered the scene.
Jacques Derrida
I rightly pass for an atheist.
Jacques Derrida
I love language as I love life itself!
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

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

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
The first problem of the media is posed by what does not get translated, or even published in the dominant political languages.
Jacques Derrida
But can one not conceive of a presence, and of a presence to itself of the subject before speech or signs, a presence to itself of the subject in a silent and intuitive consciousness? Such a question therefore presupposes that, prior to the sign, and outside it, excluding any trace and any différance, something like consciousness is possible.
Jacques Derrida
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.
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
Cinema plus Psychoanalysis equals the Science of Ghosts.
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
We are all mediators, translators.
Jacques Derrida
I always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.
Jacques Derrida
I do everything I think possible or acceptable to escape from this trap.
Jacques Derrida
There is nothing outside of the text. [Fr., Il n'y a pas de hors-texte.]
Jacques Derrida
