Roland Barthes
“Literature is without proofs. By which it must be understood that it cannot prove, not only what it says, but even that it is worth the trouble of saying it.”
Roland Barthes

Ray Bradbury
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

Roland Barthes
“C'est sous la pression de l'Histoire et de la tradition, que s'établissent les écritures possibles d'un écrivain donné: il y a une Histoire de l'écriture; mais cette Histoire est double: au moment même où l'Histoire générale propose -- ou impose -- une nouvelle problématique du langage littéraire, l'écriture reste encore pleine du souvenir de ses usages antérieurs, car le langage n'est jamais innocent: les mots ont une mémoire seconde qui se prolonge mystérieusement au milieu des significations nouvelles. L'écriture est précisément ce compromis entre une liberté et une souvenir, elle est cette liberté souvenante qui n'est liberté que dans le geste du choix, mais déja plus dans sa durée.”
Roland Barthes

Plutarch
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
Plutarch

Nawal El Saadawi
“They said, “You are a savage and dangerous woman.”
I am speaking the truth. And the truth is savage and dangerous.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero
