Quote by Joanna Walsh

“I had waited so long for my moment to become beautiful I watched out for it carefully but, if it came, I did not see it. Now I know it has passed me by But when I look back at old selfies Maybe I was. Beauty is never inhabited by the beautiful.”

“Beatitude begins at the moment thought-feeling has gone beyond the author’s need to think — he doesn’t need to think anymore and he now finds himself close to the grandeur of nothingness. One could also say of “everything”. But “everything” is quantity, and quantity has limits at its very outset. True incommensurability is nothingness, which has no barriers and is where a person can spread out her thought-feeling.”

“Is it not strange how such things can happen, momentous things, things that seem to change the world itself and yet they do not? The river flows, the sun shines, the birds sing. Nature is indifferent to man. Which is perhaps why we can find in it a source of healing. We may be wounded, but it is not. Despite our weariness, it renews itself continually. I find that thought comforting.”
