― Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

“...what I enjoy in a narrative is not directly its content or even its structure, but rather the abrasions I impose upon the fine surface: I read on, I skip, I look up, I dip in again. Which has nothing to do with the deep laceration the text of bliss inflicts upon language itself, and not upon the simple temporality of its reading.”
― Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

“...language is never innocent.”
― Roland Barthes

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain
