« Any border, like medicine, is cure and poison. And so it's a matter of dosing. »

« "The wall forbids the passage, the border regulates it. To say of a border that it is a colander is to give it back its due: it is there to filter (...) the pores make the skin breathe like ports, islands and bridges, rivers. (...) Keeper of its own character, remedy for navel-gazing, school of modesty, light aphrodisiac, rickshaw-au-rêve, a recognized border is the best possible vaccine against the epidemic of walls. Opposing identity-relationship to root identity, refusing to choose between evaporated and enkysted, far from the common dissolve and the chauvinist that ossifies, the anti-wall I speak of is better than a provocation to travel: it calls for a sharing of the world." »

« The parody, the humor, the wink are no longer understood. Second degree is forbidden. Secondary temperament is poorly noted. The neo-frontal cortex, that of introspection, is set aside. »
