Ah, the sun will catch me, in my disturbing transparency. What am I but an awareness of the dark, forever?  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) My hands are full when you give me your hand  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) One rose is enough for the dawn  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) Through the ear, we shall enter the invisibility of things  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) One wound is enough to feed the open wounds of the sky  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) The soul has words as petals  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) The book is an unbearable totality. I write against a background of facets  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) We do not truly speak except at a distance. There is no word not severed  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) By the light of our insistent truths we wander into death  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) Wound me... I can only feed on my humiliated blood  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) What is not grasped has all the chances to become real  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) The hand opens to the word, opens to distance  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) For the writer, discovering the work he will write is both like a miracle and a wound, like the miracle of the wound  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) To whom to speak when the other no longer is?The place is empty when emptiness occupies all of the place  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) It is not certainty which is creative, but the uncertainty we are pledged to in our works  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) I believe in the writer’s mission.

The initiative is shared, as if spontaneous  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) In the morning, you tear up the pages of your fever, but every word naturally leads you back to its color, its night  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) As long as we are not chased from our words we have nothing to fear. As long as our utterances keep their sound we have a voice. As long as our words keep their sense we have a soul  (Edmond Jabes Quotes) It is very hard to live with silence. The real silence is death and this is terrible. To approach this silence, it is necessary to journey to the desert. You do not go to the desert to find identity, but to loses it, to lose your personality, to be anonymous. You make yourself void. You become silence. You become more silent than the silence around you. And then something extraordinary happens: you hear silence speak  (Edmond Jabes Quotes)
