More quotes by Jacques Derrida
I have always had school sickness, as others have seasickness. I cried when it was time to go back to school long after I was old enough to be ashamed of such behavior.
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
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
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
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
These years of the Ecole Normale were an ordeal. Nothing was handed to me on the first try.
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
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
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
Beyond the touchline there is nothing.
Jacques Derrida
Who ever said that one was born just once?
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
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
Surviving - that is the other name of a mourning whose possibility is never to be awaited.
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
Certain readers resented me when they could no longer recognize their territory, their institution.
Jacques Derrida
As soon as there is language, generality has entered the scene.
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 always dream of a pen that would be a syringe.
Jacques Derrida
