"The clang is—therefore—the knell of some idiom, some signature ... Hence one never finds it here or there, in the unique configuration of a text. It always lends itself, affects itself or steals itself.

“‘Woman wants to dominate (herrschen), man to be dominated (beherrscht) (especially before marriage)’”

“…you are always in the process of getting screwed in the contraband, such is philosophy”

“Double gaze. Cross-eyed reading. In keeping one eye on the corner column (contraband), read this as a new testament.”

“The phallocentric hierarchy is a feminism, it subjects itself dialectically to Femininity and Truth, both capitalized, making man the subject of woman.”

“If I write two texts at once you won’t be able to castrate me. If I delinearize, I erect. But at the same time I divide my act and my desire. I—mark the division and, escaping you always, simulate all the time and don’t come anywhere. I castrate myself—I remain(der) myself thus—and I ‘play at coming.’”
