“Language can only begin with the void; no fullness, no certainty can ever speak; something essential is lacking in anyone who expresses himself. Negation is tied to language. When I first begin, I do not speak in order to say something, rather a nothing demands to speak, nothing speaks, nothing finds its being in speech and the being of speech is nothing.”
Maurice Blanchot, Literature and the Right to Death, The Gaze of Orpheus. Trans. Lydia Davis, 1981; p 381
