It is impossible to speak a word without any intonation
By putting it into words, robbed of harmful power--Virginia Woolf, "A Sketch of the Past"

To rob the event of the power it has in its past life is to put it into written word--you write about these things, you own the story. You have taken power into own words.

Telling stories is not a demonstration of talent or lessons--it is always a matter of life and death.
Richard Wilbur's "The Writer"

Ong vs Derrida: Derrida is text centered
Phonocentrism--the oral dimension of language

Freud's couch--decorated with material whose pattern is reminiscent of Arabian Nights.
