“That which I call a text is practically everything… Speech is a text, gesture is a text, reality is a text in this new sense. This is not about re-establishing graphocentrism alongside logocentrism or phonocentrism or text-centrism. The text is not a centre. The text is an openness without borders, of ever-differentiating references.”
― Jacques Derrida
“If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.”

“Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love without reward is valuable.”--Emmanuel Levinas
An entity from another world cannot but appear to us as a paradox, as an Other, for in its very being it points towards what is unimaginably beyond our world and throws into doubt our world's own existence as self-contained and absolute. MR

“Sometimes, it is necessary to quiet the mind in order to be able to hear. How can we tune into what is going on outside of ourselves, if it is drowned out by what is going on inside of ourselves? Find your stillness, find your calm, and listen. Allow the universe speak to you.”

“I don't have the heart to tell him that's the wrong way to think about the world. There will always be more questions Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.”

“Your whatness
is what we share with you,
our togetherness.
Your thisness
is your separate essence,
your distinctness.
I love you for your whatness,
for the me in you, and the you in us.
I love you for your thisness,
your eternal soul,
deathless and endless.”
― Kamand Kojouri

"Everything matters not in spite of the end of you and all that you love, but because of it. Everything is all you’ve got…and after everything is nothing. So you were wise to welcome everything, the good and the bad alike, and cling to it all. Gather it in. Seek the meaning in sorrow and don’t ever turn away, not once, from here until the end. Because it is all the same, it is all unfathomable, and it is all infinitely preferable to the one dreadful alternative.”
― Ron Currie Jr., Everything Matters!
