"[...] This diaphanous wall in speech that separates the part silence has to say from the part that, barely said, silence recuperates." (Edmond Jabès, Le Livre des Ressemblances)

"This double movement is the voice's logical movement, the non-recognition of which does not allow thinking about the (fundamental) rapport between the body and/or discourse, speech and/or hearing. [...] It (the voice) is only conceivable as an overstepping that establishes the limit it crosses: as the founding crossing of the limit, the voice designates the limit that separates and distinguishes body from discourse, place from knowledge." (Denis Vasse, L'Ombilic et la Voix)
