“God does not read.”

“The dead center of existence: when it is all the same to you whether you read a newspaper article or think about God.”

“No one reads to know, but to forget”

“I foresee the day when we shall read nothing but telegrams and prayers.”

“If truth were not boring, science would have done away with God long ago. But God as well as the saints is a means to escape the dull banality of truth.”

“The initial revelation of any monastery: everything is nothing. Thus begin all mysticisms. It is less than one step from nothing to God, for God is the positive expression of nothingness.”

“His power to adore is responsible for all his crimes: a man who loves a god unduly forces other men to love his god, eager to exterminate them if they refuse.”
