To live in the world but outside of existing conceptions of it.
in the presence of extraordinary actuality, consciousness takes the place of imagination.
Imagination...is the irrepressible revolutionist.
It is the imagination pressing back against the pressure of reality. It seems, in the last analysis, to have something to do with our self-preservation; and that, no doubt, is why the expression of it, the sound of its words, helps us to live our lives.
Perhaps it is of more value to infuriate philosophers than to go along with them.
Life's nonsense pierces us with strange relation.
