“The exit of the Being is not in exiting itself but instead leaving on a voyage. Since there is nothing except the Being and Nonbeing (the Nothing, emptiness), it cannot go on a journey because a journey into the void has no meaning or purpose. Alone within itself, at the height of its power, it becomes the same as its opposite—Nothingness. The Being resolves this problem not by moving into emptiness but by moving into itself, by sucking up nothingness, or void, into itself.”
