More from Jacques Derrida
"To deconstruct a text is to show how it undermines the philosophies it asserts."
"The meaning of meaning is infinite différance."
"The supplement is neither a plus nor a minus, neither an outside nor an inside, but the becoming-other of the sign."
"The future can only be anticipated in the form of an absolute danger. It is that which breaks absolutely with the present and cannot be anticipated."
"Deconstruction is not a demolition, but a careful dismantling to understand how a text or concept is put together."
