Mourning Diary by Roland Barthes

4.0

So many beautiful thoughts, ‘Emotion (emotivity) passes, suffering remains’, ‘I ask for nothing but to live in my suffering’, ‘…my taste for writing gives me this apotropaic or integrative power: I integrate, by language…the very fact that language affords me the word “intolerable” immediately achieves a certain tolerance’.
