«The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognizes neither pity nor pitilessness.»
«One can say of language that it is potentially the only human home, the only dwelling place that cannot be hostile to man.»
«The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.»
