You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Thought is only a gleam in the midst of a long night.
But it is this gleam that is everything. Thomas Aquinas Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.
