"Lyrical, brutal, moving, puts you in a time a place and a must read for those who want to get a greater understanding of what it was like for human to be treated worst than animals. Horrendous, what we Americans did." May 04, 2017 06:30AM

Jacques Derrida
“That which I call a text is practically everything… Speech is a text, gesture is a text, reality is a text in this new sense. This is not about re-establishing graphocentrism alongside logocentrism or phonocentrism or text-centrism. The text is not a centre. The text is an openness without borders, of ever-differentiating references.”
Jacques Derrida

Jacques Derrida
“In order to approach now the very concept of forgiveness, logic and common sense agree for once with the paradox: it is necessary, it seems to me, to begin from the fact that, yes, there is the unforgivable. Is this not, in truth, the only thing to forgive? The only thing that calls for forgiveness? If one is only prepared to forgive what appears forgivable, what the church calls 'venial sin', then the very idea of forgiveness would disappear. If there is something to forgive, it would be what in religious language is called mortal sin, the worst, the unforgivable crime or harm.”
Jacques Derrida, On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness

Hélène Cixous
“You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she's not deadly. She's beautiful and she's laughing.”

“Writing is the delicate, difficult, and dangerous means of succeeding in avowing the unavowable.”

“If my desire is possible, it means the system is already letting something else through.”
