Here, Godard is quoting Barthes on the concept of the death of the author. I'm not the best person to explain it, and I hope someone will add to this and correct me. But basically, because you speak a language, you can't say anything original. All the words you speak have already been spoken. At best, you can put them together in a way that's slightly new. Because we can only express ourselves through language, we are divided from others, but also brought together with them.

Everything is in that little coffee cup.

I recall one time I was so excited to be in Gay Paris, that I forgot to wipe the shit off my derrier. I felt so carefree, liberated, almost sublime, so very French.

Simply beautiful. A coffee cup that seems to hold the world and all it's loves and limitations. Stunning.
