Maurice Blanchot Quotes

The Annoying This Was That Their Authority Loomed Larger By The Hour. One Is Not Aware Of It, But These Men Are Kings. Throwing Open My Rooms, They Would Say, "Everything Here Belongs To Us." They Would Fall Upon My Scraps Of Thought: "This Is Ours." They Would Challenge My Story, "Talk," And My Story Would Put Itself At Their Service. In Haste, I Would Rid Myself Of Myself. I Distributed My Blood, My Innermost Being Among Them, Lent Them The Universe, Gave Them The Day. Right Before Their Eyes, Though They Were Not At All Startles, I Became A Drop Of Water, A Spot Of Ink. I Reduced Myself To Them. The Whole Presence Of Me Passed In Full View Before Them, And When At Last Nothing Was Present But My Perfect Nothingness And There Was Nothing More To See, They Ceased To See Me Too. Very Irritated, They Stood Up And Cried Out, "All Right, Where Are You? Where Are You Hiding? Hiding Is Forbidden, It Is An Offense," Etc.
