Quotes
- “Once scientists and scholars invest parts of their career in support of a paradigm, it becomes a sort of a self-betrayal to abandon it.”
- “Men and women in their mutual attraction are driven to the very emptiness they are trying to avoid.”

- “Beauty takes us to a space that is ineffable, a place of secrets.”
- “The best paradise is the paradise we are exiled from.”
- “What is the chance that one can roll up the sky like a hide?”
