Maurice Blanchot
“A writer who writes, ''I am alone''... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
Maurice Blanchot

Anton Chekhov
“Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.”
Anton Chekhov

Hermes Trismegistus
“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”
Hermes Trismegistus

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.”
Rumi

Rainer Maria Rilke
“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies
