Quote by Umberto Eco

“Try to understand, Baudolino: God is a lamp without flame, a flame without fire, a fire without heat, a dark light, a silent rumble, a blind flash, a luminous soot, a ray of his own darkness, a circle that expands concentrating on its own center, a solitary multiplicity; He is a space that is not, in which you and I are the same thing, as we are today in this time that doesn't flow.”
