Emmanuel Levinas
“Love remains a relation with the Other that turns into need, transcendent exteriority of the other, of the beloved. But love goes beyond the beloved... The possibility of the Other appearing as an object of a need while retaining his alterity, or again,the possibility of enjoying the Other... this simultaneity of need and desire, or concupiscence and transcendence,... constitutes the originality of the erotic which, in this sense, is the equivocal par excellence.”
Emmanuel Lévinas, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority

Lucy Sante
“Books entered my house under cover of night, from the four winds, smuggled in by woodland creatures, and then they never left. Books collected on every surface; I believe that somehow they managed to breed”
Lucy Sante

“I realize that books are not the entire world, even if they sometimes seem
to contain it. But I need the stupid things.”
Lucy Sante

Emmanuel Levinas
“Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love without reward is valuable.”
Emmanuel Levinas

Emmanuel Levinas
“the "small goodness" from one person to his fellowman is lost and deformed as soon as it seeks organization and universality and system, as soon as it opts for doctrine, a treatise of politics and theology, a party, a state, and even a church. Yet it remains the sole refuge of the good in being. Unbeaten, it undergoes the violence of evil, which, as small goodness, it can neither vanquish nor drive out. A little kindness going only from man to man, not crossing distances to get to the places where events and forces unfold! A remarkable utopia of the good or the secret of its beyond.”
Emmanuel Levinas
