In the access to
the face there is certainly also an access to the idea of God.... To my mind
the Infinite comes in the signifyingness of the face. The face signifies
the Infinite.... When in the presence of the Other, I say, “Here I am!”, this
“Here I am!” is the place through which the Infinite enters into language....
The subject who says “Here I am!” testifies to the Infinite.
Emmanuel Levinas
