Roland Barthes Quotes

«What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself.»
Author: Roland Barthes (Critic) | About: Passion
«To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive and impoverished.»

«Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.»
Author: Roland Barthes (Critic) | About: Language | Keywords: rub, tip, trembles

Author: Roland Barthes (Critic) | About: Literature | Keywords: minus
«Myth is neither a lie nor a confession: it is an inflexion.»

«The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.»
«I have tried to be as eclectic as I possibly can with my professional life, and so far it's been pretty fun.»
