Kansainvälisen naistenpäivän kunniaksi jaan kaikkien aikojen suosikkilainaukseni Hélène Cixous'lta.
'She doesn’t enter where history still works as the story of death. Still, having a present does not prevent woman’s beginning the story of life elsewhere. Elsewhere, she gives. She doesn’t measure what she is giving, but she gives neither false leads nor what she doesn’t have. She gives cause to live, to think, to transform. That “economy” can no longer be expressed as an economic term. Wherever she loves, all the ideas of the old management are surpassed. I am for you what you want me to be at the moment in which you look at me as if you have never before seen me so: every moment. When I write, all those that we don’t know we can be write themselves from me, without exclusion, without prediction, and everything that we will be calls us to the tireless, intoxicating, tender-costly-search for love. We will never lack ourselves.'
Hélène Cixous, 'Sorties: Out and Out: Attacks/Ways Out/Forays', The Newly Born Woman
