A thing which is present can be invisible, hidden by what it shows

I think we are responsible for the universe, but that doesn't mean we decide anything.

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.

Only thought can resemble. It resembles by being what it sees, hears, or knows; it becomes what the world offers it.

We are surrounded by curtains. We only perceive the world behind a curtain of semblance. At the same time, an object needs to be covered in order to be recognized at all.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.
