A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.


…observing that many of the men photographed by Nadar have long fingernails: an ethnographical question: how long were nails worn in a certain period?


Literature is without proofs. By which it must be understood that it cannot prove, not only what it says, but even that it is worth the trouble of saying it.


What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.


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.
