“In the middle of the North Pole, anything hot gives the feeling like touching the hand of the God!”

“Shadwell hated all southerners and, by inference, was standing at the North Pole.”

“If we have a simple existence, we shall feel how happy and how fortunate we are. There are some people who are of the opinion that simplicity is almost tantamount to stupidity.

“I addressed my self as one would speak to a companion with whom one is voyaging to the North Pole.”

“Don’t you know what god is? God is everything and God is nothing; for the perfection created by man cannot be anything other than nothing.

They need to give a body to nothingness so that nothingness can be seen and touched-at least with the imagination.”
