tumblralysis

“Establishing the opposition between the text of pleasure and the text of bliss: pleasure can be expressed in words, bliss cannot.
Bliss is unspeakable, inter-dicted. I refer to Lacan (What one must bear in mind is that bliss is forbidden to the speaker, as such, or else that it cannot be spoken except between the lines…) and to Leclaire (…Whoever speaks, by speaking denies bliss, or correlatively, whoever experiences bliss causes the letter - and all possible speech - to collapse in the absolute degree of the annihilation he is celebrating).”
— Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text (via frenchtwist)
Phrase of the day: Mono No Aware
Mono no aware literally “the pathos of things”, also translated as “an empathy toward things”, or “a sensitivity to ephemera”, is a Japanese term used to describe the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō?), or the transience of things, and a gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing.
