Member Quotes About Nihil

Quote Left There is no example of complete death or annihilation in the world. Just graceful and profound, abrupt change. Nothing goes out of existence...why should we be so different? Why not a universe of cooperative thought and feeling in a speck of sand? We know so little of death...and why not life beyond, yet assume volumes full? Quote Right
Quote Left I can forgive one’s ignore, but I will never tolerate his annihilation of conscience. Quote Right
Quote Left Love...or absence of love, is all powerful. Atomic weapons can annihilate the body...but only love can make or break a spirit. Quote Right
Quote Left Who, if I objected, would hear me among the angelic orders? For if the least One pressed me intimately against its breast, I would be lost in its infinite Immensity!

('Rilke’s First Elegy' by Rainer Maria Rilke, loose translation by Michael R. Burch) Quote Right
