1. My death is structurally necessary to the pronouncing of the ‘I’. […]
    The statement “I am alive” is accompanied by my being-dead, and its possibility requires the possibility that I be dead; and conversely. This is not an extraordinary tale by Poe but the ordinary story of language.

    — Jacques Derrida, Speech and Phenomena (1967)
