The Joyful Wisdom Quotes
Showing 1-1 of 1
“I have discovered for myself that the human and animal past, indeed the whole primal age and past of all sentient being continues in me to invent, to love, to hate, and to infer. I suddenly woke up in the midst of this dream, but only to the consciousness that I am
dreaming and that I must go on dreaming lest I perish—as a somnambulist must go on dreaming lest he fall. What is
"appearance" for me now? Certainly not the opposite of some essence: what could I say about any essence except to name the attributes of its appearance! Certainly not a dead mask that one could place on an unknown x or remove from it!”
