Quotes
- “Deconstruction... insists not that truth is illusory but that it is institutional.”
- “Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of... revolutionary avant-gardism.”
- “Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur "Thou still unravished bride of quietness," then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.”
- “If the masses are not thrown a few novels, they may react by throwing up a few barricades.”
- “All consciousness is consciousness of something: in thinking I am aware that my thought is 'pointing towards' some object.”
- “The present is only understandable through the past, with which it forms a living continuity; and the past is always grasped from our own partial viewpoint within the present.”
