“an uncertain mythology
in which one hears the names
when the wind stops
of all the false gods”
Jean Follain, Transparence of the World

Martin Buber
“As long as the firmament of the You is spread over me, the tempests of causality cower at my heels, and whirl of doom congeals.”
Martin Buber

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“All I know is that while I’m asleep, I’m never afraid, and I have no hopes, no struggles, no glories — and bless the man who invented sleep, a cloak over all human thought, food that drives away hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats up cold, chill that moderates passion, and, finally, universal currency with which all things can be bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same level. There’s only one bad thing about sleep, as far as I’ve ever heard, and that is that it resembles death, since there’s very little difference between a sleeping man and a corpse.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

C.G. Jung
“Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.”
Carl Gustav Jung

Italo Calvino
“Falsehood is never in words; it is in things.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
