Edmond Jabes

“Silence always talks to him who surrenders his words.”

"It is not truth that is important, but how we use it."

“We cannot help turning divine truth into a human truth. Thus we deliver it unto death,”

"Creating does not mean affirming creation, but, rather, canceling it out with the created object, means opposing it to itself where it holds sway, means, as in enamel work, a second firing."

--The Book of Dialogue – Edmond Jabès
