“Art is here taken to mean knowledge realized in action.”
René Daumal, Mount Analogue

“Never halt on a shifting slope. Even if you think you have a firm foothold...”
René Daumal, Mount Analogue

René Daumal
“The cock crowing in the milky dawn thinks its call raises the sun; the child howling in a closed room thinks its cries open the door. But the sun and the mother go their own way, following the laws of their beings. Those who see us, even though we cannot see ourselves, opened the door for us, answering our puerile calculations, our unsteady desires, and our awkward efforts with a generous welcome.”
René Daumal, Mount Analogue

René Daumal
“...the odor of literature as a stopgap, of words piled one upon the other to avoid taking action or to console oneself for being incapable of it.”
René Daumal, Mount Analogue

René Daumal
“Shoes, unlike feet, are not something you're born with. So you can choose what you want. At first be guided in your choice by people with experience, later by your own experience. Before long you will become so accustomed to your shoes that every nail will be like a finger to feel out the rock and cling to it. They will become a sensitive and dependable instrument, like a part of yourself. And yet, you're not born with them; when they're worn out, you'll throw them away and still remain what you are.”
René Daumal, Mount Analogue
