Transcendent Emptiness

Famous quotes containing the words transcendent and/or emptiness:

    Through love, through hope, and faith’s transcendent dower,
    We feel that we are greater than we know.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non- existence, one’s inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
