quotes by Roland Barthes
"I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me."
— Roland Barthes (The Pleasure of the Text)
— Roland Barthes (The Pleasure of the Text)
"...what I enjoy in a narrative is not directly its content or even its structure, but rather the abrasions I impose upon the fine surface: I read on, I skip, I look up, I dip in again. Which has nothing to do with the deep laceration the text of bliss inflicts upon language itself, and not upon the simple temporality of its reading."
