Roland Barthes Quotes

The politician being interviewed clearly takes a great deal of trouble to imagine an ending to his sentence: and if he stopped short? His entire policy would be jeopardized! Picture Quote #1

The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Literature is without proofs. By which it must be understood that it cannot prove, not only what it says, but even that it is worth the trouble of saying it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture Picture Quote #1

The gesture of the amorous embrace seems to fulfill, for a time, the subject’s dream of total union with the loved being: The longing for consummation with the other Picture Quote #1

What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth Picture Quote #1

I encounter millions of bodies in my life; of these millions, I may desire some hundreds; but of these hundreds, I love only one Picture Quote #1

He who reads a story only once is condemned to read the same story his whole life Picture Quote #1

The art of living has no history: it does not evolve: the pleasure which vanishes vanishes for good, there is no substitute for it. Other pleasures come, which replace nothing. No progress in pleasures, nothing but mutations Picture Quote #1

Cameras, in short, were clocks for seeing, and perhaps in me someone very old still hears in the photographic mechanism the living sound of the wood Picture Quote #1

Are not couturiers the poets who, from year to year, from strophe to strophe, write the anthem of the feminine body? Picture Quote #1

A paradox: the same century invented history and photography. But history is a memory fabricated according to positive formulas, a pure intellectual discourse which abolishes mythic time; and the photograph is a certain but fugitive testimony Picture Quote #1
