Crucial readings in his adolescence were Rousseau's "Reveries of a Solitary Walker" and "Confessions", André Gide's journal, "La porte étroite", "Les nourritures terrestres" and "The Immoralist"; and the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. The phrase "Families, I hate you!" in particular, which inspired Derrida as an adolescent, is a famous verse from Gide's "Les nourritures terrestres", book IV. In a 1991 interview Derrida commented on a similar verse, also from book IV of the same Gide work: "I hated the homes, the families, all the places where man thinks he'll find rest" ("Je haïssais les foyers, les familles, tous lieux où l'homme pense trouver un repos").
