Quotes by Michel Serres (?)

“only philosophy can go deep enough to show that literature goes still deeper than philosophy”
― Michel Serres

“The skin is a variety of contingency: in it, through it, with it, the world and my body touch each other, the feeling and the felt, it defines their common edge. Contingency means common tangency: in it the world and the body intersect and caress each other. I do not wish to call the place in which I live a medium, I prefer to say that things mingle with each other and that I am no exception to that. I mix with the world which mixes with me. Skin intervenes between several things in the world and makes them mingle.”
― Michel Serres, The Five Senses: A Philosophy of Mingled Bodies

“On peut presque tout faire sans lumière sauf écrire. Ecrire demande des lueurs. Vivre se suffit d’ombre, lire exige la clarté.

Fast alles kann man ohne Licht tun, außer Schreiben. Zum Schreiben ist Licht nötig. Zum Leben genügt Dunkelheit; Lesen braucht Helligkeit.”
― Michel Serres
