Every sign ... can be cited, put in quotation marks; thereby it can break with every given context, and engender infinitely new contexts in an absolute non-saturable fashion ... there are only contexts without any absolute centre of anchorage. This citationality is not an accident, but is that without which a mark could not even have a so-called ‘normal’ functioning. What would be a mark that could not be cited?

And the necessary provision that any mark can always be a re-mark, i.e. can be marked for a second time, remarked upon, brought to attention not only as a meaning but as a word, cited and put at a distance, or attributed to another, and its meaning qualified or modified – this in turn is the very reason literature is possible.
