Delphine de Vigan Quotes

• Solía pensar que las cosas eran como eran por alguna razón, que había algún significado oculto. Solía pensar que ese significado regía la manera de ser del mundo. Pero es una ilusión pensar que hay razones buenas y malas. La gramática es una mentira para hacernos creer que lo que decimos está conectado por una lógica que encontrarás si la estudias, una mentira que ha durado siglos. Porque ahora sé que la vida sólo oscila entre la estabilidad y la inestabilidad y no obedece a ninguna ley.

• Before I met No I thought that violence meant shouting and hitting and war and blood. Now I know that there can also be violence in silence and that it’s sometimes invisible to the naked eye. There’s violence in the time that conceals wounds, the relentless succession of days, the impossibility of turning back the clock. Violence is what escapes us. It’s silent and hidden. Violence is what remains inexplicable, what stays forever opaque.

• People who think that grammar is just a collection of rules and restrictions are wrong. If you get to like it, grammar reveals the hidden meaning of history, hides disorder and abandonment, links things and brings opposites together. Grammar is a wonderful way of organising the world how you'd like it to be.

• No me gusta mucho hablar. Siempre tengo la sensación de que las palabras se me escapan, se escapan y se dispersan. No tiene que ver con el vocabulario o los significados, porque conozco bastantes palabras, pero cuando las suelto se confunden y se dispersan. Por eso evito las historias y los discursos y me limito a responder a las preguntas que me hacen. Todas las palabras de más, las que sobran, me las guardo para mí, las que multiplico en silencio para acercarme a la verdad.

• All my life I've felt on the outside wherever I am - out of the picture, the conversation, at a distance, as though I were the only one able to hear the sounds or words that other's can't, and deaf to the words that they hear. As if I'm outside the frame, on the other side of a huge, invisible window.
