Cette citation est attribuée à l'écrivain et philosophe français Maurice Blanchot, extraite de son ouvrage 'L'Espace littéraire' (1955), où il explore la nature et la fonction de la littérature.
"To write is to shake the meaning of the world, to place an indirect question in it, to which the writer, by a final suspense, refrains from answering. The answer is given by each of us, bringing to it our history, our language, our freedom."
