"We will always wonder what, in this mal d'archive, he may have burned. We will always wonder, sharing with compassion in this archive fever, what may have burned of his secret passions, of his correspondence, or of his 'life.' Burned without him, without remains and without knowledge. With no possible response, be it spectral or not, short of or beyond a supression, on the other edge of repression, orginary or secondary, without a name, without the least symptom, and without even an ash."
Jacques Derrida, Archive Fever
