Isaac the Syrian
“Why do you increase your bonds? Take hold of your life before your light grows dark and you seek help and do not find it. This life is given for repentance, do not waste it in vain pursuits.”
Isaac the Syrian

Christian Wiman
“My God my bright abyss
into which all my longing will not go
once more I come to the edge of all I know
and believing nothing believe in this.”
Christian Wiman, My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer

Gilles Deleuze
“It is already hard enough to understand what someone is saying. Discussion is just an exercise in narcissism where everyone takes turns showing off. Very quickly, you no longer have any idea what is being discussed.”
Gilles Deleuze, Two Regimes of Madness: Texts And Interviews 1975 1995

Christian Wiman
“Lord let me suffer much and then die Let me walk through silence and leave nothing behind not even fear Make the world continue let the ocean kiss the sand just as before Let the grass stay green so that the frogs can hide in it so that someone can bury his face in it and sob out his love Make the day rise brightly as if there were no more pain And let my poem stand clear as a windowpane bumped by a bumblebee’s head tr. by Clare Cavanagh and Stanisław Barańczak”
Christian Wiman, Zero at the Bone: Fifty Entries Against Despair

Isaac the Syrian
“Apply yourself to entering your interior chamber and you will see the celestial chamber. For it is one and the same door open on the contemplation of both. The Ladder of this kingdom is hidden inside you, in your soul. Wash yourself of your sin and you will discover the degrees by which to ascend.”
Isaac the Syrian
