“I take enormous pleasure every time I see something that I’ve done that cannot be wiped out. In some way ... I guess it’s a protest against mortality. But it’s been so much fun! It’s the curiosity that drives me. It’s making a difference in the world that prevents me from ever giving up.”

—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“He makes his voyage too late, perhaps, by a true water clock who delays too long.”
