Deconstruction Quotes

Deconstructing the concept of race not only conflicts with people's tendency to classify and build family histories according to common descent but also ignores the work of biologists studying non-human species. J. Philippe Rushton
Terry Eagleton quote: "Deconstruction insists not that truth is illusory but that it..."
Deconstruction insists not that truth is illusory but that it is institutional. Terry Eagleton
Oh see, first off you gotta realize - everything for me is a reconstruction or deconstruction. I would actually say deconstruction. Mission: Impossible would be the exception. That would be a reconstruction- deconstruction. Danny Elfman
Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. She said people can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood. Chuck Palahniuk
I guess that’s supposed to be deconstruction’s original program, right? People have been under some sort of metaphysical anesthesia, so you dismantle the metaphysics’ axioms and prejudices, show it in cross section and reveal the advantages of its abandonment. It’s literally aggravating: you awaken them to the fact that they’ve been unconsciously imbibing some narcotic pharmakon since they were old enough to say “Momma.” -Interview with Larry McCaffery (1993) David Foster Wallace
Toby Keith writes songs like 1993's "Should've Been a Cowboy," and what's compelling is that you can't deconstruct its message. "Should've Been a Cowboy" is not like Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," where Jon Bon Jovi claimed to live like a cowboy; Toby Keith wants to be a cowboy for real. Chuck Klosterman
Why do I do anything?' she says. 'I'm educated enough to talk myself out of any plan. To deconstruct any fantasy. Explain away any goal. I'm so smart I can negate any dream. Chuck Palahniuk
I had not particularly liked the way in which he wrote about literature in Beginnings, and I was always on my guard if not outright hostile when any tincture of 'deconstruction' or 'postmodernism' was applied to my beloved canon of English writing, but when Edward talked about English literature and quoted from it, he passed the test that I always privately apply: Do you truly love this subject and could you bear to live for one moment if it was obliterated? Christopher Hitchens
It’s pathetic how we can’t live with the things we can’t understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed. Chuck Palahniuk
I'm not against asking the audience to work, but I think what you have now is a sort of gratuitous deconstruction as a result of a fashion of literary deconstructionism indicating that there are no meanings. Jonathan Miller
My mother, whom I love dearly, has continually revised my life story within the context of a complicated family history that includes more than the usual share of divorce, step-children, dysfunction, and obfuscation. I've spent most of my adult life attempting to deconstruct that history and separate fact from fiction. Melissa Gilbert
I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with. Fred Frith
Albert Ellis quote: "You largely constructed your depression. It wasn't given to..."
You largely constructed your depression. It wasn't given to you. Therefore, you can deconstruct it. Albert Ellis
Cory Doctorow quote: "It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I..."
It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I deconstruct classic science fiction. Cory Doctorow
You won't talk to anybody who breaks lyrics down more thoroughly. It's just a complete deconstruction, and when you start to rebuild, nobody has the capacity to do it like me. Which is not to say I'm better, it's just that there's a unique quality to everyone. Harry Connick, Jr.
