QUOTES BY J. M. COETZEE

1. We must cultivate, all of us, a certain ignorance, a certain blindness, or society will not be tolerable.

2. His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origin of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.

3. I am not we of anyone

4. Sleep is no longer a healing bath, a recuperation of vital forces, but oblivion, a nightly brush with annihilation.

5. Words are coins. Words alienate. Language is no medium for desire. Desire is rapture, not exchange.
