Roland Barthes
“The pleasure of the text is that moment when my body pursues its own ideas—for my body does not have the same ideas as I do.”
Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

Michael Faudet
“I write because you exist.”
Michael Faudet

Roland Barthes
“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. The emotion derives from a double contact: on the one hand, a whole activity of discourse discreetly, indirectly focuses upon a single signified, which is "I desire you," and releases, nourishes, ramifies it to the point of explosion (language experiences orgasm upon touching itself); on the other hand, I enwrap the other in my words, I caress, brush against, talk up this contact, I extend myself to make the commentary to which I submit the relation endure. ”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Roland Barthes
“I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me.”
Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

Georges Bataille
“Poetry leads to the same place as all forms of eroticism — to the blending and fusion of separate objects. It leads us to eternity, it leads us to death, and through death to continuity. Poetry is eternity; the sun matched with the sea.”
Georges Bataille, Erotism: Death and Sensuality
