"Neither reading nor writing, nor speaking - and yet it is by those paths that we escape what has been said already, and knowledge, and reciprocity, and enter the unknown space, the space of distress where what is given is perhaps not received by anyone. Generosity of the disaster. There death, and life are always surpassed."
"The Writing of the Disaster" by Maurice Blanchot (translated by Ann Smock)
