Maurice Blanchot
“To name the cat is, if you like, to make it into a non-cat, a cat that has ceased to exist, has ceased to be a living cat, but this does not mean one is making it into a dog, or even a non-dog.”
Maurice Blanchot, Literature and the Right to Death

Samuel Beckett
“Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.”
Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

Jorge Luis Borges
“You who read me, are You sure of understanding my language?”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel

Thomas Pynchon
“For me, Shambhala, you see, turned out to be not a goal but an absence. Not the discovery of a place but the act of leaving the futureless place where I was. And in the process I arrived at Constantinople.”
Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

Maurice Blanchot
“A word may give me its meaning, but first it suppresses it. For me to be able to say, 'This woman' I must somehow take her flesh and blood reality away from her, cause her to be absent, annihilate her. The word gives me the being, but it gives it to me deprived of being. The word is the absence of that being, its nothingness, what is left of it when it has lost being - the very fact that it does not exist.”
Maurice Blanchot, Literature and the Right to Death
