“It seemed to me that I now saw the Star Maker in two aspects: as the spirit's particular creative mood that had given rise to me, the cosmos; and also, most dreadfully, as something incomparably greater than creativity, namely as the eternally achieved perfection of the absolute spirit. Barren, barren and trivial are these words. But not barren the experience.” TwoSpiritGivenStarsCreativityCreativeSawsGreaterParticularAspectPerfectionAbsolutesMoodCosmosMakersBarren Author:Olaf Stapledon
“In that instant when I had seen... the Star Maker, I had glimpsed, in the very eye of that splendor, strange vistas of being; as though in the depths of the hypercosmical past and the hypercosmical future also, yet coexistent in eternity, lay cosmos beyond cosmos.” EyePastStarsStrangeEternityLaysDepthInstantCosmosMakersSplendorVistas Book:Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels Source: Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels
“I see, indeed I know, that in some sense God is love, and God is wisdom, and God is creative action, yes and God is beauty; but what God actually is, whether the maker of all things, or the fragrance of all things, or just a dream in our own hearts, I have not the art to know. Neither have you, I believe; nor any man, nor any spirit of our humble stature.” KnowsMenBelieveHeartArtDreamActionSpiritI BelieveCreativeAll ThingsHumbleMakersFragranceStatureGod Is LoveJust A DreamGod And Love Author:Olaf Stapledon
