“He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.”

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”
― Notebooks 1951-1959
― Notebooks 1951-1959
“In every important way we are such secrets from one another, and I do believe that there is a separate language in each of us, also a separate aesthetics and a separate jurisprudence. Every single one of us is a little civilization built on the ruins of any number of preceding civilizations, but with our own variant notions of what is beautiful and what is acceptable - which, I hasten to add, we generally do not satisfy and by which we struggle to live. We take fortuitous resemblances among us to be actual likeness, because those around us have also fallen heir to the same customs, trade in the same coin, acknowledge, more or less, the same notions of decency and sanity. But all that really just allows us to coexist with the inviolable, intraversable, and utterly vast spaces between us.”

“Love is holy because it is like grace--the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.”
