Julia Kristeva quotes
-
“Love is the time and space where "I" give myself the right to be extraordinary.”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“When the starry sky, a vista of open seas, or a stained-glass window shedding purple beams fascinate me, there is a cluster of meaning, of colors, of words, of caresses, there are light touches, scents, sighs, cadences that arise, shroud me, carry me away, and sweep me beyond the things I see, hear, or think, The "sublime" object dissolves in the raptures of a bottomless memory. It is such a memory, which, from stopping point to stopping point, remembrance to remembrance, love to love, transfers that object to the refulgent point of the dazzlement in which I stray in order to be.”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“Naming suffering, exalting it, dissecting it into its smallest components – that is doubtless a way to curb mourning.”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“Today’s milestone is human madness. Politics is a part of it, particularly in its lethal outbursts. Politics is not, as it was for Hannah Arendt, the field where human freedom is unfurled. The modern world, the world of world war, the Third World, the underground world of death that acts upon us, do not have the civilized splendor of the Greek city state. The modern political domain is massively, in totalitarian fashion, social, leveling, exhausting. Hence madness is a space of antisocial, apolitical, and paradoxically free individuation”

“That faith be analyzable does not necessarily imply a method for getting by without it. . . .”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“The depressed person is a radical, sullen atheist.”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“Abjection is above all ambiguity. Because, while releasing a hold, it does not radically cut off the subject from what threatens it --- on the contrary, abjection acknowledges it to be in perpetual danger.”
-- Julia Kristeva -
“Significance is inherent in the human body.”
