"The disaster ruins everything,  all the while leaving everything
intact.  It does not touch anyone in particular; "I" am not threatened
by it, but spared, left aside.  It is in this way that I am
threatened; it is in this way that the disaster threatens in me that
which is exterior to meâan other than I who passively become
other"âMaurice Blanchot
