Against the Pollution of the I Quotes

“He had touched the very depth of himself and liberated the supernatural or, if this word bothers you, the essential, that which does not depend on any circumstance, which can exist in all places and in any time, in pain as in pleasure. He had encountered the very source of life.

― Jacques Lusseyran, Against the Pollution of the I: On the Gifts of Blindness, the Power of Poetry, and the Urgency of Awareness
