Roland Barthes Quotes

In The Letters He Sends To His Friend, Werther Recounts Both The Events Of His Life And The Effects Of His Passion; But It Is Literature Which Governs The Mixture. For If I Keep A Journal, We May Doubt That This Journal Relates, Strictly Speaking, To Events. The Events Of Amorous Life Are So Trivial That They Gain Access To Writing Only By An Immense Effort: One Grows Discouraged Writing What, By Being Written, Exposes Its Own Platitude: "I Ran Into X, Who Was With Y" "Today X Didn't Call Me" "X Was In A Bad Mood," Etc.: Who Would See A Story In That? The Infinitesimal Event Exists Only In Its Huge Reverberation: Journal Of My Reverberations (of My Wounds, My Joys, My Interpretations, My Rationalizations, My Impulses): Who Would Understand Anything In That? Only The Other Could Write My Love Story, My Novel.
