The World In Their Words

“There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists.”

“For the only world that man knows is the empirical world of phenomena, of ‘appearances,’ and that world exists only to the extent that man participates in its construction.”

“…the mystical side of this solitude; how it is not oneself but something in the universe that one’s left with. It is this that is frightening and exciting in the midst of my profound gloom, depression, boredom, whatever it is.”

“Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you.”
