Art is not religion, 'it doesn't even lead to religion.' But in the time of distress which is ours, the time when the gods are missing, the time of absence and exile, art is justified, for it is the intimacy of this distress: the effort to make manifest, through the image, the error of the imaginary, and eventually the ungraspable, forgotten truth which hides behind the error.Maurice Blanchot

The central point of the work of art is the work as origin, the point which cannot be reached, yet the only one which is worth reaching.Maurice Blanchot
