Lovers of painting and lovers of music are people who openly display their preference like a delectable ailment that isolates them and makes them proud.

Other Quotes by "Maurice Blanchot"

Death, in the human perspective, is not a given, it must be achieved. It is a task, one which we take up actively, one which becomes the source of our activity and mastery. Man dies, that is nothing. But man is, starting from his death. He ties himself tight to his death with a tie of which he is the judge. He makes his death; he makes himself mortal and in this way gives himself the power of a maker and gives to what he makes its meaning and its truth. The decision to be without being is possibility itself: the possibility of death.
— Maurice Blanchot The Space of Literature
