Hélène Cixous
“Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard.”
― Helene Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa

Martha C. Nussbaum
“To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.”
― Martha Nussbaum

Simone Weil
“Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.”
― Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

Bodhidharma
“Those who worship don't know, and those who know don't worship.”
― Bodhidharma

Michel Serres
“only philosophy can go deep enough to show that literature goes still deeper than philosophy”
― Michel Serres
