"It reason that the present is undefined, that the future has no other reality than as present hope, that the past is no more than present memory" (Fictions, J.L. Borges)

"We have too many things and not enough forms"
(Flaubert, Preface a la d'ecrivain)

To be affected is to be finite
to write could still be to deceive finitude
to reach the being, that not affect me by itself, from without existence
("Writing and Difference", Derrida)

I will call "structures" these formal constants, these liaisons that betray a mental universe reinvented by each artist according to his needs
("Writing and Difference", Derrida)
