Julien Green
“I knew that we counted little in comparison with the universe, I knew that we were nothing; but to be so immeasurably nothing seems in some way both to overwhelm and at the same time to reassure.

We peer down into a huge dark abyss. And we are afraid.”
Julien Green, Personal record, 1928-1939

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“What finds its reflection in language, language cannot represent.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philisophicus

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. They are what is mystical.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Simone de Beauvoir, The Blood of Others

Tenzin Wangyal, The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
