Derrida, Jacques

"We are always already late to ourselves, split by temporality."

"The other's vulnerability calls us before any conscious decision."

"Capital flows through structures of meaning we cannot escape."

"The fragment preserves more truth than the whole ever could."

"To think is to be exposed to what thinking cannot master."

"The sacred and profane are not opposites but are implicated in each other."

"We must bear witness to what history seeks to silence."

"The performance breaks with repetition at every moment."

"Justice requires us to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves."

"The image both reveals and obscures what it represents."

"We inherit a language we did not create, yet it creates us."

"The work perpetually escapes the intentions of its maker."

"To be responsible is to be exposed to the incalculable."

"The boundary between life and death is more porous than we imagine."

"What we call freedom is always already constrained by structure."

"The trace of the other marks us before any conscious encounter."

"We must think the unity of what appears to be divided."

"The promise opens toward a future we cannot secure."

"Language is the wound through which meaning flows."

"The subject is always already split, never fully self-present."

"To understand is to be transformed by what we understand."

"The archive calls us to responsibility toward what has been."

"We are bound to the other in ways that exceed our comprehension."
