If my desire is possible, it means the system is already letting something else through.
Interpretation
Desire indicates possibilities within the system, suggesting that what we want is already being acknowledged.
Helene Cixous's quote suggests that if we have a desire that is attainable, it implies that there are existing pathways or systems that allow for the realization of such desires. This reflects a philosophical understanding that our aspirations are linked to the broader context of what is possible, and that the structures around us play a role in manifesting our wishes.

By writing her self, woman will return to the body which has been more than confiscated from her, which has been turned into the uncanny stranger on display - the ailing or dead figure, which so often turns out to be the nasty companion, the cause and location of inhibitions.

If you take 10,000 chimpanzees and cram them together into Wembley Stadium or the Houses of Parliament, you will get chaos. But if you take 10,000 people who have never met before, they can co-operate and create amazing things.

Some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are.
