Helene Cixous Quotes

And Why Don't You Write? Write! Writing Is For You, You Are For You; Your Body Is Yours, Take It. I Know Why You Haven't Written. (And Why I Didn't Write Before The Age Of Twenty-seven.) Because Writing Is At Once Too High, Too Great For You, It's Reserved For The Great-that Is For "great Men"; And It's "silly."
Besides, You've Written A Little, But In Secret. And It Wasn't Good, Because It Was In Secret, And Because You Punished Yourself For Writing, Because You Didn't Go All The Way, Or Because You Wrote, Irresistibly, As When We Would Masturbate In Secret, Not To Go Further, But To Attenuate The Tension A Bit, Just Enough To Take The Edge Off. And Then As Soon As We Come, We Go And Make Ourselves Feel Guilty-so As To Be Forgiven; Or To Forget, To Bury It Until The Next Time.
