—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The cloister and the observatory saint
Take comfort in about the same complaint.
So science and religion really meet.”
