"There is nothing outside of us that..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.”

“All perishable is but an allegory.”

“I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.”

“I recently got into Haiku in Japan and I just think it's fantastic. Obviously, when you get rid of a whole section of illusion in your mind you're left with great precision.”

“The most peculiar social self which one is apt to have is in the mind of the person one is in love with.”

“The roar of the traffic, the passage of undifferentiated faces, this way and that way, drugs me into dreams; rubs the features from faces. People might walk through me. And what is this moment of time, this particular day in which I have found myself caught? The growl of traffic might be any uproar - forest trees or the roar of wild beasts. Time has whizzed back an inch or two on its reel; our short progress has been cancelled. I think also that our bodies are in truth naked. We are only lightly covered with buttoned cloth; and beneath these pavements are shells, bones and silence.”

“I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.”

“The years... when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything was then.”

“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”
