Derrida, "The Post Card"

[jouissanceangel]

"Am I in Jerusalem? This is a question to which one will never answer in the present tense, only in the future or the past." - Jacques Derrida, How to Avoid Speaking: Denials

“Psychoanalysis has taught that the dead – a dead parent, for example – can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts.” - Jacques Derrida

"it is true that only words interest me... I love words. I have the greatest desire to express myself in words. For me it involves desire and the body. And if I love words it is also because of their ability to escape their proper form, whether they interest me as visible things, letters representing the spatial visibility of the word, or as something musical or audible.” - Jacques Derrida, The Spatial Arts: An Interview with Jacques Derrida
