«If the transparency of intelligibility was ensured, it would destroy the text, it would be seen to have no future beyond the present, for immediate consumption; therefore a certain area of misunderstanding is also a reserve and an excessive possibility and a way of generating new contexts. If everyone is able to understand immediately what I want to say I have not created any texts, I have only mechanically met the expectations and that will be that. Perhaps people will be pleased, but then they close the book and everything stops there.»
